CANIGOOIL enters the Protected Designation of Origin "Oli de l’Empordà"

We are very proud to announce that our oils are now part of the Oli de l'Empordà Protected Designation of Origin, the seal that certifies the origin and quality of oils produced in the Empordà region.

This step represents a recognition of the work carried out for years in our olive groves and in the mill, always committed to quality, origin, and respect for the land.

Our first DO Empordà oils

The first oils from our house to be certified by the DO are:

• Auream Argudell 250 ml

• Auream Argudell 500 ml

Both belong to the new 2025/2026 harvest and have passed all the necessary controls to bear the official designation seal.

The Argudell variety, the soul of Empordà

To be part of the Oli de l’Empordà Protected Designation of Origin, the oils must be made with olives of the Argudell variety, a native variety of Empordà that is part of the agricultural and gastronomic identity of the region.

Argudell produces elegant and balanced oils, with fresh vegetable aromas and a personality closely linked to the landscape of the Costa Brava.

It is a historical variety of the territory that has adapted perfectly to the Mediterranean climate of Empordà, influenced by the sea and the tramontana wind.

A highly demanding control and traceability process

To obtain the DO Empordà certification, each oil must pass an exhaustive control process that guarantees its origin and quality.

This process includes:

• control of plots registered within the DO

• complete traceability from olive grove to bottle

• controls in the oil mill

• physical-chemical analyses

• sensory evaluation by tasting panel

Only oils that meet all these requirements can be marketed with the official designation seal.

A commitment to the territory

Being part of the Oli de l’Empordà Protected Designation of Origin is much more than a certification for us.

It is a way to defend and promote the Empordà region, its agricultural landscape, its traditional varieties, and its gastronomic culture.

From our olive groves to each bottle, our goal is to continue producing oils that reflect the unique character of this region.

The incorporation of Auream Argudell into the DO Empordà is a very important step in this journey and a motivation to continue working to enhance the value of the oils from our region.
