Oro del Desierto Arbequina 500ml is an organic extra virgin olive oil of limited production, made with Arbequina olives harvested at early veraison in the "El Vicario" estate, located in the Desierto de Tabernas (Almería). The olive groves are between 10 and 25 years old and are planted in 7 x 5 m frames, with drip irrigation.

Making

• Picking: from mid-October to early November.
• Cold extraction:, 2 phases, only with olives in very early veraison (75-80% green).
• Variety: Arbequina.
• Zone: Finca El Vicario, Desierto de Tabernas (Almería).

Tasting notes

• Colour/Appearance: Intense golden with green highlights, filtered.
• Perfume/Bouquet: fruity, aroma of fresh almonds and medium-ripe fruits, harmonious as a whole.
• Flavour/Taste: sweet and enveloping, almost no bitterness, somewhat marked spiciness, leaving a persistent and pleasant vegetal sensation.

Outstanding properties

Although the Arbequina variety is generally not very stable, this oil has polyphenol levels between 350 and 450 mg/kg, which gives it greater stability in conservation and flavour potency, higher than usual in oils of this variety.

Food pairing

Ideal for desserts, oranges with oil, sauces, fish and seafood. Always raw or at low temperature to fully enjoy its organoleptic qualities
