arbequina amontillado (1)

Arbequina Amontillado by Castilla de Canena in Jaén. A young extra virgin arbequina olive oil refined in Bodegas Lustau amontillado sherry wine barrels more than half a century old. I first tried this at the Auténtica Food Festival in September and it blew me away, crazy gorgeous flavour, the best of two worlds. So excited to finally have some at home. Also hoping to visit the producers soon. Been missing Jaén a lot!

Local artist Alfredo Rodríguez (also my friend and neighbour – he lives just down the street) has put out his second Sevilla almanac and so I picked up one for myself, one for Debs and another for Paul. Last year’s featured one of his famous bar facades per month, this year we get one barrio per month with 4-5 gorgeous images on each page. Mine is already up and so I’m quite looking forward to next year!
