Arbequina Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Intensity: Medium, Crush Date: October 2024, Country of origin: Portugal

Our Portuguese Arbequina displays a sweet fruity nose with  notes of banana, a creamy almond center and hints of nutmeg on the finish. Well balanced with pleasing, lingering pepperiness.

Our partner producer (SAOV) in Portugal is using a high vacuum during malaxation to remove all of the oxygen in this processing stage where the oil spends the most time and is most prone to oxidation. This cutting edge and very technical method preserves the phenolic content, the overall chemistry plus the flavor characteristics while reducing other oxidation markers.
