Experiences that remain.
Experiences that remain
We want to tell you a story and say something.
Exclusivity does not live in what is seen, but in what endures.
In each oil we produce —EL MIL DEL POAIG, EL VERD DEL POAIG, and CARMEN DEL POAIG— there is a way of working that avoids excess: observing, waiting, doing only what is necessary, and doing it well.
We don’t manufacture oils —we accompany them.
The tree, the climate, the soil, and the silence of the mill decide.
Our role is to respect that order, to preserve the fruit’s purity and the dignity of the process.
Manuel Arnau, the man who listens
Manuel Arnau has spent more than forty years among olive trees.
He has never considered himself their owner. He says his work is to protect what others planted.
The way he speaks —few words, deliberate— carries something of the landscape that surrounds him: austere, luminous, without pretension.
Inside the mill, the air smells of green leaf and wet stone.
Before each pressing, Manuel checks everything: the ripeness of the fruit, the ambient temperature, the density of the paste.
No machine makes the decisions alone; it’s a balance between technique and instinct.
The oil begins to flow slowly —golden, dense.
He observes, without hurry.
He knows that the difference between a good oil and an exceptional one may lie in a few minutes, or in a more attentive eye.
That is how Manuel works: with rigor, with calm, with the serenity of someone who understands that craft is a form of respect.
What has Manuel prepared this season?
EL MIL DEL POAIG
From olive trees that have stood for over a thousand years.
Trees that have survived droughts, wars, and the passing of generations.
Its oil is deep, with body and subtle notes of green almond, wood, and leaf.
On the palate it is dense yet balanced, with a finish reminiscent of wet earth after rain.
It is an oil for contemplation —a drop on bread or tomato is enough to reveal its character.
EL VERD DEL POAIG
From young, organic Canetera trees, harvested early in the season.
Its color is bright and transparent green.
Aromas of freshly cut grass, apple, and tender almond.
Clean, fruity taste, with a contained acidity that brings freshness and vitality.
It is the oil of beginnings, of work in motion, of the day just starting.
CARMEN DEL POAIG
A limited edition dedicated to Carmen —the grandmother who taught us to look at trees with gratitude.
Its flavor is soft and round, with a delicate sweetness that makes it perfect for fine pastries, raw tastings, or simple bread.
Beyond taste, it carries a family story —of care, of transmission, of love for the craft.
Three different oils, united by one principle: purity of origin and fidelity to time.
What remains
At EL POAIG we believe luxury is not about possessing, but about preserving.
Preserving a tree that has lived longer than we have.
Preserving a way of working without shortcuts.
Preserving the silence of those who do things well.
That is why we offer experiences that seek not to impress, but to endure:
private tastings, walks among millenary olive trees, slow dinners where oil becomes the thread that unites the table.
Each encounter, each bottle, each sponsor who joins our project becomes part of a shared memory.
A memory that speaks of territory, of handmade work, and of time as an essential ingredient.
This week we present the new EL POAIG oils:
EL MIL DEL POAIG, EL VERD DEL POAIG and CARMEN DEL POAIG.
Crafted by Manuel Arnau, master miller.
Three oils, three ways of listening to the Maestrat.
