L'Estornell Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500ml

IN STOCK

$25.00

Produced from organic Arbequina olives from the Veá estates, as well as the harvest of other growers in the locality.

Sweet, slightly nutty, almond flavor with a peppery quality and spicy aftertaste.

The fields of Veá are a testament to natural cultivation, free from pesticides and herbicides. This commitment to nature is evident in the thriving soil, a vital component in producing exceptional olive oil.

After harvest, the cut grasses and flowers are repurposed as organic fertilizer, enhancing the soil's richness. The region's cold temperatures play a dual role; they naturally fend off pests and ensure optimal maturation of the olives. Every few years, untreated earth from nearby hills, rich in natural minerals, is integrated with the humus-rich soil, fortifying its quality.

As pioneers in ecological cultivation, the Veá family, along with 11 local farmers, adhere to the strict standards set by the C.C.P.A.E. – Catalan Council of Organic Agricultural Production. The rigorous climate, featuring cold winters with temperatures dropping between -5 to -7 degrees and frequent fogs, naturally shields against pests and aids the Arbequina olives in achieving perfect maturation.
