About this oil
This oil, in full
Everything behind the numbers — the varietal, the estate, the milling, and how to taste it.
A single-estate extra virgin olive oil, cold-milled and tasted blind before it reaches the shelf.
Who makes Dominus?
The Montabes Vano family, through Monva S.L., based in Mancha Real (Jaen). They have been making oil since 1972.
What awards does it have?
Finalist for Best Monovarietal at Leone d'Oro (Italy), second best oil in the world at Sol d'Oro (Verona), 98/100 in the Flos Olei 2025 guide. Jaen Seleccion in several editions.
Why is it harvested in October?
Because in mid-October the Picual olive is in its initial ripening phase: it has less oil but more polyphenols, more aromas and more complexity. This is real early harvest, not marketing.
What does it taste like?
Tomato leaf, green banana, green pepper. Thyme and rosemary in the background. On the palate, elegant and expressive. Aftertaste of green almond and nuts. Medium bitterness and pungency, well balanced.
Can you cook with it?
You can, but it would be a waste. Dominus shines raw: over toast, salads, legumes off the heat, carpaccios. It's a finishing oil, not one for the pan.
