MO Manzanilla & Oleocanthal is a luxurious organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), crafted exclusively from the prestigious Manzanilla Cacereña olive variety, cultivated in the Cáceres region of Extremadura, Spain. This monovarietal oil, produced by Jacoliva, S.L., stands out not only for its exceptional quality and high levels of oleocanthal (500 mg/kg)—a natural compound with healthy properties—but also for its sophisticated presentation: an elegant 500 ml bottle housed in an exclusive case and equipped with a certified wooden pourer.
How to use it in the Kitchen
MO Manzanilla & Oleocanthal, being a pure and natural plant-based product, is entirely Halal-friendly. Its exceptional flavor profile and versatility make it the perfect complement to a wide range of international cuisines, elevating every dish to a gourmet experience:

Storage Recommendations
To ensure your MO Manzanilla & Oleocanthal retains its exquisite flavor, aroma, and beneficial properties for longer, follow these storage recommendations:
- Protection from Light: Light is one of EVOO’s greatest enemies, accelerating its oxidation. The MO Manzanilla & Oleocanthal bottle comes inside a patented exclusive metal case that offers superior protection. Always store the product within this case.
- Cool and Consistent Temperature: Store the oil in a cool, dark place, ideally between 15°C and 20°C (59°F and 68°F). Avoid temperature fluctuations and keep the product away from heat sources like the stove or sunny windows.
- Airtight Container: Ensure the certified wooden pourer is always tightly closed after each use to minimize exposure to air, which also contributes to oxidation.
- Away from Strong Odors: EVOO can absorb odors from the environment. Store it away from foods with very intense aromas or cleaning products.
