OLIVE VARIETY
Arbequina, organic, pitted before milling. Despinyolada is Catalan for pitted.
 
HOW IT IS MADE
The olives reach the mill about 20 minutes after picking and are cooled to 10 to 15ºC. A pitting mill separates the stone from the flesh, and only the flesh is crushed. The paste is mixed for 20 minutes below 25ºC, then the oil is extracted in two phases, centrifuged and filtered to protect its freshness on the shelf.
 
WHY WE CHOSE IT
At 546 mg/kg of polyphenols and 0.15% acidity, it is one of the most intense oils in our range, with the bitterness and pepper to match.
