Llàgrimes del Canigó: EVOO with 24k Edible Gold (100 ml)

The Extra Virgin Olive Oil with 24k edible gold from the Spanish brand Llàgrimes del Canigó is an artisanal, limited-edition product. It is made from Argudell olives — a native variety from the Empordà region — carefully selected and cold-pressed to ensure the highest quality and pure flavor.

The addition of genuine 24-karat edible gold flakes does not alter the oil’s sensory properties, but it adds a distinctive visual element, perfect for those seeking a functional ingredient with a refined presentation. This is a monovarietal olive oil, 100% plant-based and free of additives, designed to elevate special dishes without overwhelming their flavors.

How to use it in the Kitchen

This oil is intended to be used raw, as a finishing touch. In traditional Gulf cuisine, it can be applied just before serving dishes like machbous, harees, thareed, or saluna, adding a natural golden glow and a smooth flavor that respects the essence of the dish. It also pairs beautifully with hummus, labneh, mutabal, or foul medames.

In international or everyday cooking, its light fruity profile and golden aesthetic make it an excellent choice for fresh salads, roasted vegetables, soft cheeses, white fish, delicate seafood, or artisanal breads. It is suitable for halal-friendly, vegetarian, and vegan recipes, and easily adapts to any kitchen that values pure, high-quality ingredients.

Storage Recommendations

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and sources of heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed after each use to prevent oxidation and preserve the clarity of the gold flakes. Refrigeration is not required.

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.
