Arbequina variety:
Arbequina, a traditional Spanish olive variety, ranks as the second most popular variety in Spain in terms of crop area The olive oil derived from Arbequina boasts aromatic, sweet, and fruity notes, accompanied by a subtle bitterness Common aromas associated with this variety include green grass, tomato, apple, banana, and ripe fruit Generally, oils produced from Arbequina olives exhibit low oxidation resistance To address this, producers frequently blend Arbequina olive oil with other varieties to enhance overall stability in terms of aroma, body, and resistance to oxidation
Cornicabra variety:
The oil extracted from Cornicabra olives has a high content of Oleocanthal Typical aromas: green leaves, tomato and almond Early harvested Cornicabra oil is intense spicy and bitter If the olives are harvested later in the season the oil can be more forgiving, sweet with notes of exotic fruits just as avocado As it is a stable oil it is suitable for cooking and frying

ElOlivo review:
This year’s Organic Casas de Hualdo is absolutely amazing, just like always The oils from Casas de Hualdo keep getting better with each passing year Let’s talk about the 2023 Organic; this oil is definitely not mild It has these incredible green aromas of fresh tomatoes, rocket, and bitter green almonds When you taste it, you’ll notice some sweet veggie flavours along with a touch of green fruitiness, but then the bitterness and spiciness kick in We were blown away by its complexity So, it’s not a gentle oil, but it’s truly lovable We use it for both cooking and finishing, especially with vegetable dishes Our favorite combination is roasted eggplant with Mojo sauce and a side of Greek yogurt sprinkled with black sesame seeds Enjoy
