18:1 on CNEWS – A Three-Star Olive Oil

Press Highlight of the Day: CNEWS dedicates an article to us today and talks about our single-variety olive oils!
Alexis Muñoz’s premium products are winning over more and more people!
“Michelin-starred chefs from France and beyond are crazy about them. Alexis Muñoz’s 18:1 Olive Oils have, in just a few years, built an exceptional reputation.
This elaïologist – meaning an olive oil expert – traveled the Mediterranean world of olives before launching his operation. With a name inspired by the simplified formula of oleic acid, ‘18:1’ is the essence of his expertise. First and foremost, there’s a unique approach: while blends dominate the industry, Alexis Muñoz focuses on single-varietal oils.
Available in dozens of fine grocery stores and cheesemongers across France, as well as on the online shop, the 18:1 First Harvest Picual variety from Cordoba (Andalusia) can be savored simply on a slice of bread with fleur de sel or on your summer salads. The green olives, freshly picked, reveal the delicious aroma of tomato leaf.”
