Arbequina Monovarietal

Crafted from 100% Arbequina olives harvested in California's Santa Barbara region, this unfiltered early-harvest oil is bottled immediately after milling to preserve its vibrant green hue and fresh, grassy aroma. Its bold flavour profile features peppery notes and a distinctive spicy finish, characteristic of premium Olio Nuovo. This limited-reserve oil excels when drizzled over crisp green salads or paired with artisan breads for dipping. The unfiltered production method ensures maximum retention of the olives' natural antioxidants and complex flavours.
