Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil - California

Harvest: 2021

Country / Region: USA / California

Intensity: Medium

Description: A very popular Spanish varietal which gets its name from the village of Arbeca, in Catalonia (Lleida) Spain. It is a widespread varietal which is now doing very well in many olive growing regions in both hemispheres. The Arbequina is desired for its signature smooth fruitiness, and its fresh and mild profile. It is a delightfully fresh and versatile olive oil. One of our most popular oils!

Tasting Profile / Serving Suggestions: This year’s Californian “Early Harvest” of the Arbequina has a creamy green almond center and lingering pungency. It is well-balanced and displays malty and savoury flavours, as well as delicate grass, and apple. Due to its delicate and soft nature, this harvest has produced a great baking oil to use with cakes, pastries, and cookies - perfect for confectionary applications. Great with delicate salads and greens, and with white fish. A versatile and popular olive oil variety every season.
