Hand harvested and milled within hours. This is a monovarietal Arbequina offering fresh aromas of green olive, tomato leaf and cut grass leading to a lively bitterness and clean pepper finish with 425 mg/kg polyphenols and California EVOO certification. Certified and structured, it is the smooth one that Leroy says plays well with others. A natural match for seafood.

Harvest & milling

How it was made

The olives are listed as being harvested manually.

Product informationHand picked
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Arbequina as its only recorded cultivar.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.

Worth knowing

One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.
