The variedad Arbequina is one of the most cherished jewels in the world of olive oil. Originating from the Arbeca region (Catalonia, Spain), this variety has earned a special place in kitchens worldwide thanks to its mild and fruity flavor.
The Arbequina Tree
The Arbequina olive tree is known for its resilience and adaptability. This compact and easy-to-grow tree thrives in a variety of climates and soils, making it a popular choice for both commercial producers and home gardens. Its leaves are small and elongated, with an intense green color, and its branches are filled with clusters of small, round olives
The Arbequina Olive
Arbequina olives are small in size, but don’t let their appearance fool you. These olives contain a high oil content, making them ideal for olive oil production. They ripen early, allowing for a late autumn harvest, which guarantees the freshness of the final product.
Olive Oil
Arbequina extra virgin olive oil is famous for its mild and balanced flavor. It has an organoleptic profile that includes fruity aromas of apple, almond, and freshly cut grass. Its taste is sweet and slightly peppery, without the bitterness found in other olive oil varieties, making it perfect for a wide range of culinary uses.
Food pairing
Gracias a su sabor suave y equilibrado, el aceite de oliva Arbequina es ideal para aderezar ensaladas, preparar salsas, marinar carnes y pescados, y también en la repostería.
