The origin of a drop of gold
I want to tell you a story and say something: every time you open a bottle of EL MIL DEL POAIG extra virgin olive oil, you are not just enjoying a food, but embarking on a journey of more than 2,000 years. Our millenary olive trees in the Maestrat are living witnesses of generations, guardians of a land that has learned to endure drought, wind, and cold winters.
In October we will begin the harvest. We pick the olives at their optimal moment and mill them in less than 24 hours to preserve their freshness. This process guarantees you an oil with a high concentration of polyphenols, natural antioxidants that help protect cardiovascular health and reduce oxidative stress. A simple gesture, like a daily spoonful, becomes an investment in your wellbeing.
But let’s talk about living heritage.
Our trees are not young. They have survived empires, wars, and droughts. They are millenary olive trees that still stand, offering each year a limited and extraordinary fruit. By choosing your EL POAIG oil, you take part in their preservation, preventing them from being uprooted or sold simply for decoration. Sustainability is not a slogan: it is a duty to the land and to those who will come after us.
And why a porcelain cruet?
You often ask us that question. EL POAIG’s packaging is not an aesthetic whim. Our handcrafted porcelain protects the oil from light and maintains a stable temperature, ensuring it reaches your table intact. Design and function come together in a single gesture: preserving the essential with beauty and sobriety. The temperature balance and total opacity that porcelain offers cannot be found in any other container. And if it is beautiful too, all the better.
How can I enjoy my luxury oil?
Luxury is not in abundance, but in choice. A slice of toasted bread with EL MIL DEL POAIG, a green salad enhanced by its flavor, a spoonful on an empty stomach. Three daily gestures that connect you with Mediterranean culture and turn the everyday into something extraordinary.
The origin of a drop of gold lies in a simple and essential act. Opening a bottle of EL MIL DEL POAIG is opening history, health, sustainability, and design. Because true luxury is not what shines on the outside, but what endures within.
