Llàgrimes del Canigó Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Thyme is a handcrafted creation made from Argudell olives, cold-pressed, and hand-picked thyme from the Cap de Creus area. The result is an oil with a soft, fragrant, and slightly earthy aroma, free from artificial flavors and inspired by traditional recipes.
How to use it in the kitchen:
This oil is designed to be used as a finishing touch, enhancing the flavor and aroma of each dish. It should not be subjected to prolonged cooking to preserve the intensity of its thyme notes. Just a few drops are enough to transform a simple recipe into a more refined culinary experience. It is perfect for:
- Grilled or oven-roasted red meats, adding a herbal note that enhances their juiciness.
- Steamed or oven-baked fish, balancing freshness and aroma.
- Traditional dishes such as machboos, kebabs, or hummus, intensifying their character.
- Fresh pasta and creamy risottos, adding depth at the end of cooking.
- Roasted or steamed vegetables, elevating their natural taste.
- Artisan breads and focaccias, boosting their freshly baked aroma.
Storage Recommendations
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Once opened, close the cap tightly to preserve its flavor and properties. Do not refrigerate.
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.
