Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes from Catalonia, Spain, near Barcelona. It is single-varietal and made 100% from Arbequina olives. This award-winning Spanish oil is characterized by a full, fruity, and slightly sweet flavor.

Background information:

The Arbequina olives are handpicked from November to January and processed into oil within a few hours using the "cold pressing method." This traditional olive pressing preserves the flavor optimally, resulting in a high-quality olive oil with low acidity.

In 2005-2006, the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture awarded the Montbrio del Camp cooperative first prize for the high quality and fruity taste of this oil. Additionally, several other international awards were won, including first prize for the best and cleanest pressing system and mill.

Usage This Arbequina EVOO is best added at the very end to dishes so it can fully develop its optimal flavor. It tastes excellent with tomatoes, eggs, and fish dishes, is wonderful for dipping bread, or as a butter substitute in mashed potatoes. Perfect for mixing with our O & V herb blends.

Dressing tip Very well combined with sherry vinegar, tomato vinegar, tomato pulp-Agrodolce, strawberry-Agrodolce, or hibiscus vinegar, in a ratio of 1/3 Agrodolce/vinegar to 2/3 Arbequina olive oil.
