18:1: The Chefs’ Olive Oil

2025
July 18, 2025
Because olive oil is, to him, an ingredient of excellence, Alexis Muñoz chooses to break away from standard practices to establish his own rules:
- Olives from a single variety to reveal their full character
- Carefully selected fruit maturity
- Harvesting and pressing within 6 hours for maximum freshness
- Steel tins to protect the oil from oxidation
3 varieties, 3 maturities, 3 unique flavor profiles:
- Picual: intense notes of tomato leaf
- Arbequina: notes of green apple and hazelnut
- Cornicabra: notes of candied black olive
These are the reasons why over a hundred chefs in France and around the world choose 18:1.
A heartfelt thank you to each and every one of them for their trust.
