This high-polyphenol Arbequina olive oil has a smooth but robust flavor profile. The peppery finish, which leaves a lasting impression on both the palate and the back of the throat, clearly indicates the rich polyphenol content of the olive oil.
This Arbequina cultivar Ultra-Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil was harvested from the Zagoda Farm orchard by hand picking and pressed at a temperature below 80 °F within the same day of being harvested. It is filtered through paper filters and bottled in dark glass.
Arbequina (pronounced Are-Beh-Key-Nuh) was originated in Catalonia, from the town of Arbeca, but pre-Catalonian texts state that it was introduced to the region from the Ottoman Empire. Many top producing olive farms adopt Arbequina olives because of their high adaptability and versatility, making it one of the most dominant and highly planted olive cultivars in the world.
