Give the gift of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Giving Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) as a gift is much more than a simple culinary treat: it's giving culture, health, and the pleasure of the Mediterranean. At Molino y Cata, we've spent years selecting and recommending exceptional oils for those seeking an authentic, elegant, and sustainable gift. From premium bottles to gourmet gift sets, variety packs, or gift cards, we help you find the perfect present that will always leave a lasting impression.
Why give Extra Virgin Olive Oil as a gift?
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is a symbol of well-being, tradition, and generosity. Unlike other fleeting gifts, a good olive oil is savored slowly, shared, and remembered for its flavor. Each bottle tells a story: of centuries-old olive trees, of hands that lovingly harvest the olives, and of mills that cold-press the juice to preserve all its aroma and freshness. Giving EVOO as a gift is, ultimately, giving a piece of the Mediterranean.
The symbolic value of oil as a gift
Since ancient times, olive oil has been a symbol of peace, prosperity, and hospitality. In Mediterranean cultures, it was offered as a gesture of welcome or gratitude. Today, that spirit endures: giving olive oil is offering light, health, and joy. When you give a good extra virgin olive oil, you're not just giving a product, but a story and a wish for well-being.

- Arbequina: mild, sweet and fruity. Perfect for fish, vegetables or pastries.
- Hojiblanca: aromatic and balanced, with a slightly spicy finish. A great all-rounder.
- Frantoio: elegant and persistent, with floral nuances. It shines in pasta and cheeses.
If you don't know the recipient's preferences, choose a variety pack or a special edition case : each tasting will be a different experience.
