Castillo de Canena Family Reserve Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil, has been selected  for Outstanding Oil. 
Since 1780, the Castillo de Canena estate has been producing exceptional oils in the Guadalquivir Valley of Andalusia in the south of Spain. Their Family Reserve oils are produced from olives that have been harvested early, a process that requires twice the amount of olives and renders an oil of exceptional quality, taste, and aroma.
The arbequina oil has a sweet almond and green apple flavor.


Also chosen was Puremiel Organic Lavender Honey  for Outstanding Jam, Preserve, Honey or Nut Butter.

Five generations of beekeeping knowledge are embodied in Puremiel raw honeys, which are produced using organic methods, with no artificial additives or pasteurization. Puremiel’s happy bees run free in the Grazalema & Alcornocales natural parks of the Cadiz region of Spain.

Available in five unique flavors.
