ACANTO HOJIBLANCA EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
Acanto Hojiblanca Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Origin: Sierra Mágina, Andalusia, Spain
This exceptional single-variety extra virgin olive oil is crafted from 100% Hojiblanca olives grown in the pristine Sierra Mágina Natural Park in Andalusia. The Hojiblanca variety produces oils with a beautiful golden-green colour and elegant balance, characterised by its moderate fruitiness with notes of fresh-cut grass, green apple, and almonds. It finishes with a gentle bitterness and subtle peppery warmth. The oil is cold-pressed within hours of harvest to preserve its exceptional organoleptic properties and high polyphenol content.
Hojiblanca olive oil is renowned for its versatility and perfect balance of flavours, making it ideal for both raw and cooked applications. Its medium oleic acid content (65-70%) provides excellent stability at high temperatures whilst maintaining its distinctive buttery consistency and complex aromatic profile. The variety's name derives from the silvery appearance of the olive trees, whose leaves have white undersides.
It is perfect for drizzling over salads, grilled vegetables, and fresh fish. It is also excellent for making mayonnaise, marinades, and finishing dishes. It is particularly valued for cooking as it "grows" in the pan, making it economical for frying while adding remarkable flavour to sautéed dishes and roasted meats. It is also delightful to simply enjoy with crusty bread.

This mountainous area, including peaks over 2,000 metres, provides the ideal Mediterranean climate and terroir for producing world-class extra virgin olive oils with exceptional stability and intense fruity characteristics.

Picual vs Hojiblanca
Picual and Hojiblanca are two of Spain's finest olive varieties, each with distinct personalities.
Picual is bold and robust with intense fruity flavours, pronounced bitterness, and a strong peppery kick. Its high stability and exceptional health benefits make it ideal for those who love powerful, assertive oils.
Hojiblanca offers a gentler approach with balanced fruitiness, mild bitterness, and subtle warmth. Its versatile character works beautifully in everyday cooking, making it perfect for newcomers to premium olive oil or anyone seeking an elegant, approachable flavour that complements rather than dominates dishes.
HEALTH: THE IMPORTANCE OF OLIVE OIL
Extra virgin olive oil is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and powerful antioxidants like polyphenols and vitamin E, which help reduce cholesterol and protect against inflammation.
As the foundation of the Mediterranean diet, it supports cardiovascular health, brain function, and longevity. Choose quality extra virgin olive oil for both exceptional flavour and genuine health benefits.
