Arbequina olive oil is known for its smooth texture, vibrant green color, and aromatic profile with a distinctly peppery kick. It delivers intense notes of raw greens, arugula, and fresh leaves. Its bold, peppery, and pungent character leaves a pleasant burning sensation, a testament to its very high polyphenol content.

This Ultra-Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil, crafted from the Arbequina (Ahr-beh-KEE-nah) olive variety, is sourced from Zagoda Farm. Hand-picked and cold-pressed within hours at a temperature below 80°F, this olive oil preserves the freshness and robust qualities of the olives. It is carefully filtered through paper filters and bottled in dark glass to maintain its high nutritional content and protect it from UV light exposure.

  • Polyphenols (mg/kg): >570 mg/kg (Above 250 mg/kg is considered as rich, offering robust antioxidant benefits)
  • Acidity: <0.3% (Ultra-premium quality; EVOO must be below 0.8%)
  • Harvest date: October 5, 2024

Originally from the town of Arbeca in Catalonia, Arbequina olives are now among the most widely cultivated varieties globally, valued for their adaptability and versatility. Interestingly, historical texts suggest the olive may have roots in the Ottoman Empire before being introduced to Catalonia.

Arbequina olive oil is perfect for enhancing salads, sauces, pasta, and marinades or for sautéing vegetables. Its bold, peppery flavor and nutritional profile make it an excellent choice for daily health—simply take half a tablespoon in the morning for an antioxidant boost. This olive oil is a true testament to the harmonious blend of tradition, flavor, and health benefits.

FAQ

How to determine the quality of olive oil?

Olive oil's quality is determined by the acidity level; the lower acidity, the higher quality. Ultra-Premium (UP) is a new olive oil category that defines the best quality olive oil in the world. UP olive oil is much less acidic (less than 0.3%) then standard extra virgin olive oil (0.8%). Our oils have only 0.1% acidity, qualifying to be in the top tier of UP olive oils.

What are polyphenols?

Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds found in plant foods. They act like an antioxidant; they neutralize any type of harmful agents that can damage a person’s cells. Extra virgin olive oil is one of the most valuable sources of polyphenols. Daily consumption of polyphenol-rich foods can help prevent certain long-term chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease.

How to store olive oil?

The most important factors for storing olive oil are: air (oxygen), light, odor, temperature and time. The oxygen in the air oxidizes olive oil, causing it to degrade faster. The beneficial minerals and polyphenols in olive oil are lost when olive oil degrades, affecting the taste. Olive oil should be stored in a tightly closed container, preferably in a colored glass bottle or ceramic container, where there is no moisture or direct sunlight. It should NOT be stored in a metal container!
