Alhema de Queiles 500 ml is an organic extra virgin olive oil produced by Hacienda Queiles on their own olive estate, located in Monteagudo, in the south of Navarre. All the fruit used comes from the estate, where the Arbequina and Arróniz varieties are grown following organic farming practices.
Its composition combines 85% Arbequina and 15% Arróniz. The Arbequina provides elegance and balance, while the Arróniz introduces greater intensity and personality. The olives are harvested early and processed at the estate's mill shortly after harvest, seeking to preserve the fruit's aromatic expression intact.
On the nose, it offers a complex profile with notes of ripe tomato, green pepper, and freshly ground pepper. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet maintains a good balance, with fruity sensations accompanied by restrained bitterness and a spiciness that adds liveliness and persistence.
Its combination of intensity and balance makes it very versatile. It can be enjoyed raw on toast, salads, and vegetables, as well as with fish, meat, pasta, and various Mediterranean dishes. The 500 ml tinprevents direct exposure to light and helps preserve the characteristics of the EVOO during storage.
