Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil - California

Harvest: 2022

Country / Region: USA / California

Intensity: Mild - 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 “Early Harvest” of the Arbequina comes to us from the Californian Capay Valley and is produced by the master millers at Boundary Bend Estate. It is a well-balanced olive oil and presents the palate with savoury middle herb notes of artichoke and tarragon with fleeting pepperiness. 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.
