This extra virgin olive oil is cold-extracted from 100% Hojiblanca olives grown in the Southern Andalusian region of Estepa. It has a fruity intensity, typical of the variety, and an aroma reminiscent of fresh cut grass, apple and tomato. Its flavor is moderately intense in bitter and spiciness, making it ideal for bread-dipping, sauce-making and dressing grilled fish and vegetables. -
Arbequina Novello extra virgin olive oil from the Estepa region of Andalusia in Southern Spain is light fruity in flavor and well-balanced with both spicy and bitter intensities. Cold extracted from 100% Arbequina olives, its prominent fruitiness is most characterized by green fruits, tomatoes and a hint of almond. It is ideal for fish, homemade mayonnaise, vinaigrettes and drizzled on fresh cheeses. -
