Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Characteristics of our extra virgin olive oils from Jaén 

Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is the highest quality variety of olive oil.It is obtained from the best olives using mechanical processes, with an acidity level below 0.8%, which gives it a unique color, aroma, and flavor.

Spain is the country with the most varieties of olives in the world -with more than 250 varieties-, and each of them provides a unique flavor and aroma. For example, the picual olive oil is intense and bitter or, on the contrary, the arbequina olive oil whose flavor is mild and even sweet.

Likewise, there is a clear trend towards organic olive oil, such as Nobleza del Sur Eco Day, which is characterized by using only organic products and natural resources in its cultivation system, thus respecting the environment, or hojiblanca olive oil like Rincón de la Subbética Hojiblanca.

At Olivarte, you can find numerous varieties such as cornicabra olive oil, royal olive oil, coupage olive oil, frantoio olive oil, or koroneiki olive oil.

Why consume extra virgin olive oils?

 Extra virgin olive oil is a gourmet olive oil and one of the pillars of the Mediterranean diet, a diet that has been recognized by the WHO as healthy and sustainable. It is very beneficial for health as it has a high content of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid that helps reduce bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol. It is also a source of natural antioxidants such as polyphenols or vitamin E. "Its benefits are even greater when consumed raw."

Extra virgin olive oil prices

The price of early harvest extra virgin olive oil is higher than any other since it takes double the olives to extract the same amount of oil.. They are harvested in the months of October and November, which is why they have less juice inside than a fully ripe olive. The quality of their olives is therefore superior, with a high chlorophyll content, which is responsible for the characteristic green color of the oil.
