What is Arbequina?
Arbequina is a small, brown olive cultivar originally from Catalonia, Spain. Renowned for its high oil content and distinct flavour profile, Arbequina olives are a prized choice for olive oil production. The oil extracted from these olives is typically very fruity with a mild peppery finish, making it a favoured choice among chefs and food enthusiasts alike. The early crush Arbequina in our Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil preserves the olive’s natural flavour, delivering an oil that is fresh, mild, and perfectly suited for a variety of culinary applications.

How is Extra Virgin Olive Oil made?
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made by crushing olives to extract their juices. The crushed olives are then pressed to separate the oil from the solids and water. Finally, the oil is separated and filtered to produce the pure extra virgin olive oil we use for cooking and other purposes.
Cold-Pressed means that no heat or chemicals were used during extraction, preserving the oil’s natural flavours and nutritional quality.
First-pressed means the olive oil was extracted in a single pressing, with no second pressing as in the case of some other oils, like seed oils.
