Olive oil and much more: we're expanding the Llàgrimes del Canigó family
At CANIGOOIL, we have dedicated years to what we do best: producing extra virgin olive oil, carefully tending to every detail of the process, from tree to bottle.
Under our brand Llàgrimes del Canigó, we have built a way of understanding the product based on its origin, respect for the process, and the constant pursuit of the best flavor.
But there was a question that had been on our minds for some time:
Can we apply this same philosophy to other products beyond olive oil?
We found the answer this year at Alimentaria Barcelona, where we presented for the first time three new products that are joining the Llàgrimes del Canigó family.
They are not oils.
But they originate from exactly the same place.
A natural evolution within Llàgrimes del Canigó
This step is not a change of direction, but a logical evolution.
We want Llàgrimes del Canigó to be much more than an olive oil brand.
We want it to be a brand of quality condiments, where each product makes sense within the same understanding of gastronomy.
For months, we tested dozens of options, worked with different producers, and discarded many proposals. We didn't want to expand our catalog without criteria. We wanted to do it consistently.
Because for us, every product that is part of Llàgrimes del Canigó must meet the same standards, regardless of whether we produce it directly or not.
Arbequina Green Olive Paste: freshness and balance
The Arbequina green olive paste is an addition that fits naturally within our range of condiments.
We sought an olive paste that moved away from excessively salty or aggressive profiles, opting for a finer and more balanced style.
The result is a smooth, fresh, and slightly sweet olive paste that respects the identity of the Arbequina olive and integrates perfectly into daily cooking.
Ideal for appetizers, toasts, or mild cheeses, but also as a base for dishes where you want to add depth without overpowering the ensemble.
Black Olive Paste: intensity with elegance
The black olive paste completes this new line with a deeper and more structured profile.
Made with ripe black olives, it presents a more intense character, with saline notes and a greater persistence on the palate.
The challenge here was clear:
achieve intensity without losing elegance.
The result is a versatile olive paste, perfect for more robust dishes, meats, or as a base in cooking, providing complexity and balance.
Reserve Red Wine Vinegar: tradition and time
The third product in this new addition is probably the most unique.
It is a red wine vinegar traditionally made and aged in barrels over 80 years old.
To develop it, CANIGOOIL partnered with a local winery that preserves these百年barrels, where the vinegar slowly evolves, acquiring a complexity difficult to find in conventional products.
The result is a balanced vinegar, with a round and elegant acidity, accompanied by deep aromas that evoke mature wine, wood, and time.
A product that fits perfectly within the Llàgrimes del Canigó universe, expanding possibilities in the kitchen without losing coherence.
A family of condiments with the same essence
With these additions, Llàgrimes del Canigó takes another step towards consolidating itself as a condiment brand, where olive oil remains the core, but not the only protagonist.
These new products replace nothing.
They add.
They expand the experience.
They offer new ways to enjoy cooking.
And, above all, they maintain the essence intact:
👉 clear origin
👉 careful process
👉 and a real obsession with flavor
Looking forward
This is just the beginning of a new stage.
From CANIGOOIL, we will continue exploring new additions for Llàgrimes del Canigó, always with the same criterion: few products, but well-chosen.
Because in the end, it's not about having more.
It's about having better.
