Primo Foodie Finds
Manzanillo’s balance makes it one of the most versatile oils in our collection. It’s just as comfortable sautéing vegetables and pan-frying proteins as it is drizzled over a finished dish.
Its creamy body pairs well with roasted potatoes, grilled chicken, steamed fish, and fresh pasta.
For a quick appetizer, pour a shallow dish of Manzanillo with a splash of balsamic vinegar, a sprinkle of herbs, and some crusty bread.
The almond notes make it an especially good dipping oil.
It also works beautifully whisked into vinaigrettes where you want a smooth, rounded flavor rather than a sharp or peppery bite.
Manzanillo EVOO
Price range: $8.00 through $39.95
Primo Oils‘ Spanish Manzanillo is the kind of oil that catches you off guard. Despite its robust intensity, it’s remarkably well-balanced.
Sourced from harvest olives grown in Spain, this oil was crushed in November 2025 at peak freshness.
The first thing you’ll notice in our Manzanillo is a creamy almond center that coats the palate beautifully. From there, bitter and sweet greens come through on the finish, adding structure without being overwhelming.
At 664 ppm of biophenols, it’s packed with the kind of natural antioxidants that make extra virgin olive oil so good for you.
Polyphenols are linked to reduced inflammation and oxidative stress, making this oil as good for your body as it is for your palate.
Its high fruitiness score (5.0) means the olive flavor is front and center, while the moderate bitterness keeps things interesting without being aggressive. Pair it with a fruity white balsamic for a lighter contrast, or with an aged dark balsamic for something richer.
