Why Choose Our Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil?

Reinos de Taifas was born when Juan moved to the UK and realised how hard it was to find olive oil that tasted like home. Today, we share monovarietal EVOO from our family’s grove in Córdoba with customers across the UK and the EU.

Reinos de Taifas produces Spanish extra virgin olive oil via a cold centrifugation process. The process is chemical-free and retains the maximum amount of nutrients. Each variety is stored separately in stainless steel containers to maintain the oil’s freshness and prevent contamination.

We offer up to 6 single varieties of extra virgin olive oil. However, the olive harvest depends heavily on nature, so it depends what and how much is available that year.

Extra virgin olive oil do not have an ‘expiry date’ but a ‘best before date’. So, if you store the olive oil in a cool, dark place, it will last longer.

Juan, who is deeply interested in history, founded Reinos de Taifas. The name Reinos de Taifas refers to a period in which the administrative regions were excessively structured for their actual needs and thus inefficiently organised. Olive oil was considered valuable as a gift during this period, so our brand, Reinos de Taifas, was born.
