Molino Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 500ml

O-Med Molino Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the sister label to O-Med's classic Arbequina oil, pressed from olives grown in the very same groves in Ácula, Granada. The difference is timing: where O-Med's flagship oil comes from an early harvest, Molino is pressed later in the season, once the olives have ripened further. The result is a noticeably milder, gentler oil - still well balanced and recognisably Arbequina, but softer and fruitier, with less of the peppery bite of an early-harvest oil.

That mildness makes it a genuinely versatile everyday oil. Use it anywhere you want the flavour of good olive oil without it dominating the dish - dressing salads, finishing soups, or cooking where a robust, peppery oil would fight with more delicate ingredients. It's also an easy way to introduce someone to good olive oil if they've found more intense, early-harvest styles a bit much.

Why we love it:

• Made by O-Med (Venchipa), a small, family-run mill in Ácula, Granada, Andalucía
  
• Pressed from the same Arbequina olives and the same groves as O-Med's classic EVOO, just harvested later in the season
  
• Genuinely milder and fruitier than an early-harvest oil, with gentle notes of green banana and apple rather than a peppery finish
  
• A softer, more approachable everyday alternative for anyone who finds early-harvest oils too robust
  
• Cold-extracted to protect the flavour, in the same way as O-Med's other oils
  

How to use:

• Drizzle generously over salads, steamed vegetables or a bowl of soup just before serving
  
• Use as your everyday cooking and dressing oil where a gentler flavour is wanted
  
• Finish grilled fish or chicken with a tablespoon or two straight from the bottle
  
• Serve in a shallow dish with a little salt and good bread for dipping
