            Traditional Extra Virgin Olive Oils

            

           Arbequina from California

          Award-Winning Gold Medal Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Arbequina olives have become very popular with farmers over the past few years because of the sweet olive oil they produce. We have found what we believe is the best Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil available. Professional tasters agree as this oil was voted the best in Spain (the home of the Arbequina olive) by the Ministry of Agriculture.

          Notes: Green Apple, Hints of Almond and a long slight pepper finish

           

          Athenolia from Greece

          The olives for this oil were hand-picked in the Peloponnese and cold pressed to produce this fabulous oil. Some say this is the crown jewel of Greek extra virgin olive oils. Loaded with flavor, a tad bitter and fruitier (more olive flavor) than our Nuevo. Monovarietal oil made from Koroneiki olives. Acidity is less than .04%

          Notes: Perfect for dipping and salads 


          Frantoio from Spoletto, Italy

          Intense, peppery and green, this oil will promote at least two hearty coughs as the high polyphenols make their way to the back of the throat.  This intense, early harvest oil contains plenty of grass, herbs and pepper on the back.

          Notes:  A pleasing bite wraps up the experience.  Wonderful when paired with tomato, and mild nutty cheeses.

          Koroneiki from Greece

          The classic Greek olive oil. 60% of all olive trees in Greece used for making olive oil are Koroneiki. A great finishing oil and salad oil, with a fresh flavor and aroma that is not overpowering.

          Notes: Complex aroma which is dominated by the smell of fresh cut grass. Fruity with a light pepper finish.

           

          Picholine from France

          The most common olive variety of the Provence region of France. A late harvest olive, which ripens when most other varietals are all picked and pressed. Picholine olive oils are known to have a unique aroma of red fruits.
          Notes: Very well balanced, with fruit tones and spiciness to offer a sweet and green leaf Flavor. 


          Arbosana (Chile)

          A unique nose and complex flavor make this olive oil an amazing addition to any collection.  Asparagus meets butter to form the center and a creamy, smooth finish rounds out the experience.  

          Notes: This oil is fantastic for bread dipping, as a replacement for butter, in aioli or dressings.

          Castile (Spain)
          Primarily a blend of Arbequina, Picudo and Hojiblanca Olive Oils. This classic combination is appreciated for its unique balance and well rounded flavor. Castile is general purpose oil that will serve you well everywhere in the kitchen.

          Notes: It is a sauce maker’s choice, with flavors that will enhance all of your Mediterranean dishes.

          Sweet Barnea (Australia)
          This Sweet Barnea from BBE (Australia) is a real surprise. In spite of the extra rainfall in the BBE groves the Barnea developed a wonderful nose.  It’s tropical, sweet, with notes of banana fused with the scent of freshly cut hay. Simply delicious!

          Notes: The BBE Barnea is a great all purpose oil that will work well in a wide variety of applications.
