Arraez Bravo: Exquisite Olive Oil and Vinegar now in UK, Ireland & EU

Some of the most recent new additions on the Wine Shop Lanzarote virtual shelves are from Arraez Bravo, under their brand of Lagrima de Malvasia Volcanica Vinegar and Lagrima de Aceite.

These exceptional olive oils and vinegars capture the essence of the unique terroir of the Canary Islands. In this blog post, we'll explore the history of Arraez Bravo, delve into their award winning products which we offer at Wine Shop Lanzarote, and discover what makes their offerings truly special.

Arraez Bravo's are based in Lanzarote, but their story began when the potential of Fuerteventura's climate and soil for producing high-quality olives was recognised. Inspired by the island's natural beauty and agricultural heritage, from their base in Arrecife, they set out to create olive oils that would showcase the unique characteristics of the Canary Islands.

Over the years, Arraez Bravo has grown from a small family-owned operation to a respected name in the world of gourmet olive oils and vinegars. It is also the first producer to create a vinegar made from Lanzarote's unique Malvasía Volcánica grape variety, which in 2024 went on to win the best vinegar in the world!  Their commitment to quality, sustainable farming practices, and innovative production techniques has earned them a loyal following among chefs and food enthusiasts.  They are endorsed by none other than Martín Berasategui, who with 12 Michelin stars has the most in Spain and 3rd highest number in the world! 

Fuerteventura: The Source of Lagrima de Aceite Olives

Fuerteventura, the second largest of the 8 Canary Islands, provides a unique environment for olive cultivation. Known for its arid climate, constant trade winds, and volcanic soil, the island offers conditions that contribute to the distinctive flavour profile of Lagrima de Aceite.

The olives grown here benefit from:

• Year-round sunshine, promoting consistent growth
• Mineral-rich volcanic soil, enhancing flavour complexity
• Low rainfall, which concentrates the olives' natural oils

These factors combine to produce olives with intense flavours and high antioxidant content, setting Arraez Bravo's products apart from mainland alternatives.

Wine Shop Lanzarote is delighted to offer Lagrima de Aceite 100ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which is sold in a spray bottle combining convenience with quality. Packaged in a sleek red box, this product offers a fine mist of premium Fuerteventura olive oil, perfect for:

• Lightly coating salads
• Finishing dishes with a touch of flavour
• Greasing pans for low-fat cooking
