18:1: The Chefs’ Olive Oil
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.
