influenced positively through the use of our own olive grove (in the north
of Spain) and through the processing methods.
-The oleic acid value tends to be the optimal maximum (fatty acid)
– Cultivating the variety Arbequina, this is valued for its excellent taste.

An interesting fact about olive oil is that there are so many combinations of
different tastes and aromas depending on the varieties of the olive fruit and
other factors. For instance, the place of cultivation, either irrigated or dry,
the time the fruit is harvested, microclimate, the condition of the growing
region, etc.)
When buying an olive oil you should make sure, that you get an extra
virgin olive oil, which is very healthy but also suits you best concerning the
perfect combination of preferred aroma and taste.
