The arbequina olive oil originally comes from Catalonia and is named after the town of Arbeca (Lleida), although it is now widespread throughout Spain, commonly found in the fields of Andalusia. The arbequina variety is a very appreciated olive oil in international markets because, due to its characteristics, being milder and sweeter, it is perfect for palates less accustomed to olive oil consumption and looking for an extra virgin with less pungency and bitterness.

This type of oil is more delicate in terms of oxidation, so it needs to be kept more protected to preserve its initial properties, which benefit us so much.

Arbequina oil stands out for being a very aromatic olive juice. Its oil contains fruity touches, sweet, with such harmonious characteristics that bitter or spicy flavors are practically not perceived. On the contrary, the fruity touch of oil, banana, and even apple can be noticed.

Additionally, these oils evoke the scent of fresh artichoke and green almond, and in terms of taste, we can detect flavors of tomato and green walnut. This type of oil is usually dense and fluid.

Like other olive oil varieties, arbequina oil has a high content of oleic acid which is beneficial for health, as its consumption can help increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels and decrease LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.
