Arbequina Olive Oil

O-MED – Olive Oil – Arbequina – 500ml

The O-Med Arbequina olive oil is a mono-cultivar, extra virgin olive oil from southern Spain, from Andalusia. In the province of Granada, siblings Paula and Juande run their family's small oil mill, now in its fourth generation.

The Arbequina olives are harvested quite early, in the last week of October. On the day of harvest, the olives are processed into a top-quality olive oil in their own mill. It is mild and fruity.

The O-MED Arbequina extra virgin olive oil has received almost 20 awards in recent years, including the Olio Award from Feinschmecker magazine in 2015. In 2020, O-Med was honored with the Spanish National Prize for its excellent olive oil.

What distinguishes O-Med Arbequina olive oil?

The Arbequina olive oil has a golden, greenish color, is light and clear, and has a fruity aroma reminiscent of green bananas and green apples. The long-lasting aroma on the palate has hardly any bitter notes. O-Med Arbequina olive oil has a smooth finish with a hint of pepper.

This mild olive oil pairs perfectly with delicate fish dishes, white meat, and is great as a base for a rich aioli. Together with a good vinegar, it accompanies all kinds of salads, such as lamb's lettuce or oak leaf lettuce, as a dressing. You can also use it for baking or making desserts.
