At O-Med's grove in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, 2,300 feet up, the family burns spent olive pits to power around 40% of the mill's energy, then passes only the first, freshest wisps of that smoke over the oil. The result is sweet and elegant, with a delicate touch of vanilla and caramel - a world away from liquid smoke.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA little goes a long way. Warm a spoonful through a bowl of squash soup, whisk into mayonnaise for a smoky aioli to serve alongside chargrilled chicken, or drizzle over burrata and grilled peaches for a starter that needs almost no effort. It's especially good finishing barbecued or roasted vegetables - sweetcorn, aubergine and peppers all take beautifully to that gentle caramel smokiness - and makes a lovely alternative to smoked paprika when you want warmth without heat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade by O-Med, a family-run mill in Granada, growing Arbequina olives in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada at 2,300 feet\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe smoke comes from the mill's own leftover olive stones, burned to generate around 40% of its energy, so nothing from the harvest goes to waste\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnly the first, freshest wisps of smoke are passed over the oil, giving a sweet, elegant character rather than an acrid or bonfire-like one\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuinely different from liquid smoke: this is real olive-stone smoke, infused directly into cold-pressed Arbequina extra virgin olive oil\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelicate notes of vanilla and caramel sit alongside the round, buttery character of Arbequina oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhisk 2 tbsp into 200g mayonnaise for a smoky aioli, then serve alongside chargrilled chicken or a bowl of chips\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrizzle 1-2 tsp over burrata, goat's cheese or scrambled eggs just before serving, so the smoke aroma stays bright\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish roasted or barbecued vegetables - sweetcorn, aubergine, peppers - with a generous drizzle straight from the bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse in place of smoked paprika in stews, soups or spice rubs when you want warmth without added heat\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMore information:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eO-Med is a family-run mill in Granada, Spain, growing Arbequina olives on the flanks of the Sierra Nevada mountains\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e250ml bottle\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for vegetarians and vegans; naturally gluten-free\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.
