Auream Argudell is a monovarietal Extra Virgin Olive Oil, produced by Llàgrimes del Canigó through an artisanal process in the Costa Brava region, in northeastern Spain. Made exclusively from Argudell olives, it is cold-extracted to preserve its full sensory integrity.
The oil stands out for its fruity flavor profile, with subtle banana-like notes and a distinct vegetal background marked by artichoke. On the palate, it is well-balanced, with moderate bitterness and pungency. It can be used both raw and in cooked dishes, adding depth without overpowering the main ingredients.
How to use it in the Kitchen
Wondering how to use this oil? Let me tell you: in Gulf cuisine, Auream Argudell works particularly well when used raw as a finishing touch. It’s ideal for traditional dishes like harees, machbous, thareed, or saluna, where it enhances the flavors without masking the base ingredients. It also fits perfectly into cold preparations such as hummus, labneh, mutabal, or foul medames, bringing a balanced vegetal profile that complements rather than dominates.
In more international or everyday cooking, its versatility allows it to blend easily into a wide range of recipes. You can use it to dress salads, whether made with raw or roasted vegetables, or to pair with soft and aged cheeses. It’s also an excellent finishing touch for white fish or roasted vegetables, adding complexity without altering the core of the dish. It works well in simple breakfasts like tomato toast or rustic bread, and it’s ideal for homemade vinaigrettes, dip bases, or even as a final ingredient in cold soups like gazpacho or salmorejo.
This EVOO is 100% plant-based and suitable for halal diets, making it easy to incorporate into vegetarian, vegan, or any cuisine that prioritizes pure, high-quality ingredients.
Storage Recommendations
Store in a cool, dry place away from light and heat sources. Always keep the container tightly closed to prevent oxidation and preserve its sensory and nutritional qualities.
About the Brand – Llàgrimes del Canigó
Llàgrimes del Canigó (CANIGOOIL SL) is the result of a passionate project born during the Covid-19 pandemic, driven by two young entrepreneurs — a lawyer and a graphic designer — who combined their talents and vision to create something truly unique. Making use of the family-owned facilities at Trull d’Agullana, they began experimenting with infused olive oils, crafting exquisite flavor profiles. From this creative journey, the brand Llàgrimes del Canigó was born.
Rooted in craftsmanship, local production, and a deep connection to the Costa Brava in northeastern Spain, the project focuses on small-scale production using primarily the native Argudell olive — a rare and limited variety. The brand’s goal is to capture the spirit of the region in every bottle and share it with the world.
The success of Llàgrimes del Canigó lies in the careful selection of olives and complementary ingredients for each infusion. Most olives are hand-harvested in the Serra de l’Albera, in the province of Girona, where the founders have built strong relationships with local farmers who share their commitment to quality and sustainability.
Each infused olive oil is the result of a meticulous process of experimentation, using only high-quality, natural ingredients.
The name Llàgrimes del Canigó refers to the sacred mountain of the Costa Brava, Canigó, and symbolizes the soul of CANIGOOIL. Every bottle reflects the passion, precision, and regional essence that define the brand.
Beyond flavor, the company is deeply committed to sustainable practices, aiming to minimize its environmental impact through responsible production and conscious packaging.
As Llàgrimes del Canigó continues to grow, its founders envision expanding to international markets with both their infused oils and the native Argudell variety, aspiring to become a benchmark in the premium olive oil industry. Their work represents the cultural and culinary richness of the Costa Brava — drop by drop.
Llàgrimes del Canigó is more than a brand: it is a tribute to resilience, craftsmanship, and entrepreneurial spirit born in challenging times.
