Extra virgin olive oil is obtained from the olive, the fruit of the olive tree, which is the native tree of the Mediterranean and which is the star of the exterior of our venue.
With great excitement, we are pleased to show you the new product that we have available;
Extra virgin olive oil that has been made with olives from the olive trees of our space, Finca La Concertista.
We are creating a Mediterranean experience that we are completing both through small details that we are gradually incorporating, as well as by working in all the corners of our estate that maintain this essence.
An oil cannot be made overnight, but although many of you still don't know it, we have been working on the Finca project for 3 years, so we have already obtained several olives to be able to start making this incredible kilometer 0 product.
Extra virgin olive oil
Sometimes the simplest things are what you can enjoy the most and make a moment into a unique memory.
A sunset on the beach, a glass of wine with your friends on a Thursday or enjoying a good bread accompanied by a delicious olive oil with your family before dinner; nothing else is needed.
There are many restaurants that already offer bread with oil and salt, bread with butter, as an appetizer or tapa on their menu, or they bring you a bowl of irresistible EVOO and freshly toasted bread so that you can enjoy unique flavors.
We are talking about a unique product. The olive oil we obtain has an impressive quality that no other places, cities or countries are lucky enough to have.
The taste of the oil can be mild, slightly bitter or it can sting in the mouth, depending on the variety of the fruit.
EVOO with Arbequina olives
To obtain our oil, we use a natural process that begins with pressing the harvested olives. No additives or heat processes are used, since we want to obtain all the nutrients from it and in this way, we can obtain its purest version, with a darker color and more intense flavor. In addition to being able to acquire all the benefits, since we have opted for its most natural process.
Arbequina olives give the oil a mild flavor, a green color (very peculiar to the fruit itself) and characterise it by providing a fresh fruity smell.
Benefits of extra virgin olive oil
Let's now talk about the benefits we can gain on a personal level by consuming one of the most famous ingredients of the Mediterranean diet, and one of the healthiest oils on the market.
It is rich in antioxidants, such as vitamin E and polyphenols, which are responsible for helping to prevent ailments, as well as protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals.
It improves intestinal health; promoting better digestion and greater absorption of nutrients in the intestine.
It has an anti-inflammatory effect thanks to antioxidants contained in the oil itself, such as oleocanthal.
It helps the immune system. It has been shown that extra virgin olive oil has nutrients that help reduce unhealthy bacteria found in our body, helping to prevent some diseases.
And this is just a brief summary of some of the positive characteristics that it can have on our health.
But there is something else to comment on, and it is of great interest to us.
Cooking with EVOO
Extra virgin olive oil is the healthiest oil for cooking all our dishes.
Did you know that it helps foods retain nutrients that are normally lost when we cook them?
This oil means that when we cook many foods in our daily life, they retain or even increase their natural nutrients.
It can be used raw as a seasoning, in fried foods, preserves, to make sweets and cakes, as well as to make vinaigrettes or sauces.
The so-called “liquid gold” is a must and a symbol of Mediterranean cuisine, so it cannot be missing from our kitchen.
For example, adding raw extra virgin olive oil adds fragrance and aroma to the dish, and helps improve the chewiness of the foods it is made of. If you are thinking of making a preserve, use EVOO, but we recommend using one that is not the strongest, opt for a mild oil, so that the flavor of the preserve itself can predominate.
No, there is no Mediterranean diet without extra virgin olive oil.
Give liquid gold to your loved ones
For this first proposal of our product, we have made small individual 250ml bottles.
We think it is the ideal format for both everyday consumption and as a gift. It can be a gift that you yourself can buy for a family member or friend as an individual, or it can also be a detail that you give to your guests at a party or wedding.
Perhaps we are more used to other types of gifts, such as wine openers, scented candles, personalized mugs or candy. But...
Who doesn't like extra virgin olive oil?
An extraordinary gift that will please all palates; from the little ones in the house (to season a sandwich) to the most exquisite (who can enjoy it raw in any dish).
