Giving oil as a gift at baptisms

A baptism is a celebration of welcome and hope. An intimate and family moment that deserves a gift as pure and natural as its meaning. Giving Extra Virgin Olive Oil at a baptism is offering a keepsake with a Mediterranean soul: symbolic, sustainable, and full of beauty. At Molino y Cata, we help you create a gift that will touch hearts and be enjoyed, with personalized designs and the finest quality oils.

Why give oil as a gift at a christening?

Olive oil has always symbolized purity, protection, and blessing. Since ancient times, it has been associated with light and renewal, making it the perfect gift for such a special occasion. Giving extra virgin olive oil at a christening is sharing a piece of that tradition, transformed into a modern, useful, and lasting gift.

Furthermore, it's an elegant way to thank family and friends for their presence. A memory to be savored, that smells of the countryside and the Mediterranean, and that carries with it the value of authenticity.

Ideal formats for christening gifts

At Molino y Cata, we work with early harvest olive oils and artisanal producers, selecting only the most balanced and aromatic extra virgin olive oils. We offer different formats to suit the style of your celebration.

Personalized mini bottles

Mini bottles of extra virgin olive oil are the perfect gift for a christening. Small and elegant, they can be personalized with the baby's name, the date, and a thank-you message. You can choose from clear glass, white ceramic, or metal bottles, with labels in soft colors—white, beige, light blue, or pink—and natural ribbons. A delicate and heartwarming gift.

Presentation cases or packs

For close family members or godparents, you can choose gourmet gift sets or small tasting packs. Combine different varieties (Arbequina, Picual, Hojiblanca, or Frantoio) in an elegant and timeless design. A useful and symbolic gift, representing good wishes for the future. See our EVOO gift sets .

Ecological and natural details

If you prefer a simple and sustainable aesthetic, we create eco-friendly gift packs using recyclable materials, kraft paper tags, and olive branches. We can include a small card with a personal message or a verse chosen by the family. Each gift is designed with care, reflecting the intimate nature of the baptism.
