Llàgrimes del Canigó: Auream – Picual (500 ml)

Auream Picual is an Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Llàgrimes del Canigó, made exclusively from Picual olives grown in the Serra de l’Albera, on the Catalan Costa Brava. Unlike Picual oils from southern Spain, this one offers a more delicate and fresh profile, with sweet and rounded notes that evoke the essence of its land of origin.

How to use it in the Kitchen

Thanks to its aromatic complexity—with notes of freshly cut grass, green almond, tomato leaf, and artichoke—this EVOO is ideal for a wide range of culinary uses:

In traditional Emirati dishes:

Its balance makes it a perfect ally to enhance recipes like harees, machbous, saluna, or thareed. Just a few drops at the end of cooking will add depth without masking the original flavors.

In international and halal-friendly cuisine:

Perfect for fresh salads, roasted vegetables, steamed fish, hummus, baba ghanoush, or simply for dipping with artisan bread. Its elegant profile makes it suitable for halal diets and kitchens that prioritize natural, healthy, and additive-free ingredients.

Storage Recommendations

To preserve its full organoleptic and nutritional properties, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, it is best consumed within 3 to 4 months to enjoy its peak freshness and flavor.

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.
