Spain is the largest producer of olive oil in the world, a product that has become a standard of our gastronomy and one of the pillars of the Mediterranean diet. Spanish olive oil is known for its quality, freshness and the variety of olives used in its production.

We offer you a wide variety of olive oils from the different regions of Spain, so that you can prepare and dress your dishes with the star product of Spanish gastronomy. In addition to offering you first class organic olive oils, we also offer you the oils of the main varieties of olives: Picual, arbequina, manzanilla, hojiblanca, empeltre, among others.
Spanish sunflower oil
Sunflower oil is a vegetable fat used for frying and sautéing. It is a product very rich in oleic acid and is obtained from a variety of sunflowers, of medium height, which do not produce seeds.
Among the main brands of sunflower oil, Gastronomic Spain offers you KoipeSol oil, which allows you to fry at high temperatures without losing the quality of the oil.

Typical Spanish sauces
