Tierra Callada Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a Spanish extra virgin olive oil made from Arbequina olives, a variety known for producing smooth, delicate, and slightly sweet olive oils with very low bitterness and mild pepperiness. Arbequina olive oil is one of the most approachable and versatile olive oils, often used for both cooking and finishing dishes.
This olive oil is produced from Arbequina olives harvested during the envero stage, when the olives are halfway between green and ripe, typically in November. Harvesting at this stage gives the oil both green and ripe fruit characteristics, resulting in a delicate to medium intensity olive oil.
This oil is known for its fruity and slightly sweet aroma with notes of ripe banana, apple, and honey, along with hints of fresh grass. On the palate, it is smooth and balanced with very low bitterness and only a slight peppery finish.
Because of its smooth and mild flavor, Arbequina olive oil is excellent for everyday cooking and especially good for baking as a healthier substitute for butter or other fats.
This olive oil works especially well with:
• Salads
• Vegetables
• Fish and seafood
• Chicken
• Baking
• Cakes and pastries
• Bread dipping
• Sauces
• Everyday cooking
• Light pasta dishes
