In Stock
This extra virgin olive oil is cold pressed from hand-selected Arbequina olives, a cultivar from Spain that is low in polyphenols and high in polyunsaturated fat. The olives are highly aromatic and make oil that is generally buttery, fruity, and mild in flavor. The O-med mill is a small family business that controls all aspects of production from the harvest to the bottling, using the most cutting-edge technology. Their Arbequina olive oil has an aroma reminiscent of apple and green banana, and a well-balanced flavor that works with many dishes. It pours a clear and bright golden-green color and is the perfect choice for drizzling over salads, vegetables, grilled meats and fish, or to use as a finishing oil for pasta dishes.

O-Med is a small, family-owned business in Granada, Spain that is committed to creating extra virgin olive oil of the highest quality, purity, and freshness. Their olive grove is uniquely located at 2,300 feet above sea level, on the flanks of the Sierra Nevada mountains. After generations of growing olives, the family established a mill to produce olive oil and thus control all aspects of the process. Every drop is the result of precision and care; from selecting the best olives at their optimal point of ripeness to cold extraction at temperatures not higher than 69°F. Sustainability is crucial to their mission, in the design of their buildings, and processes, and the use of olive pits to produce energy that powers the mill. At O-Med, cutting-edge technology is balanced with artisanal and traditional methods to create olive oils that bring the terroir and flavor of Andalucía to your plate.
