La Boella Arbequina olive oil Box of 6 2L bottles

La Boella Arbequina extra virgin olive oil. Box of 6 2 liter bottles. From La Canonja, Tarragona.

The Fincas de la Boella, with more than 250 hectares, are located in Tarragona, next to the Mediterranean. The climate, with mild winters and warm summers, is ideal for the development of olive trees. As are the characteristics of the soil.

La Boella grows 3 olive varieties in the traditional way: Arbequina, Koroneiki and Arbosana.

The Arbequina variety is harvested between late October and early December.

Its intensive planting system allows for continuous mechanical harvesting of the olives. The olives are picked at their optimum point of ripeness. The time between harvesting and milling the fruit is reduced to a minimum to achieve the best quality of the fruit. The olives do not fall to the ground, but are picked directly from the tree.

At the La Boella mill, the oil is extracted using only physical methods (crushing, blending and separation). When the olives are free of leaves and impurities, they are ground to obtain a homogeneous paste. This paste is added to the blender, where it is kept at a temperature of between 25°C and 27°C, so that it retains all its aromas. The flower oil is separated from the paste by centrifugation.

Balanced and complex profile, ripe fruity notes identifiable on the nose and palate. With a wide variety of vegetal aromas in the background, especially apple and banana. Nuances of ripe fruits such as artichoke, almond, fennel and tomato.

It presents retronasal notes of banana peel, kiwi and green apple.

The mouthfeel is almond-like, highlighting its sweetness with a final astringency, which does not interfere with its profile.

Very balanced and harmonious Arbequina extra virgin olive oil with a marked touch of sweetness characteristic of the variety.

Maximum acidity: 0.2
