Alfar Arbequina is an extra virgin olive oil produced by Alfar La Maja in Mendavia, Navarre, exclusively from Arbequina variety olives. This Navarrese mill carefully oversees the production process to preserve the fruit's freshness and achieve oils defined by their aromatic clarity and balance.
The Arbequina variety gives this monovarietal an especially pleasant and fruity character. Its profile is less intense than that of varieties like Picual or Cornicabra, making it an excellent alternative for those who prefer mild oils that are still sufficiently rich in aroma.
The nose reveals notes of fresh fruit, with hints of apple and banana accompanied by almond and delicate vegetal sensations. It is light and silky on the palate, with a slightly sweet entry. Bitterness is subtle, and the piquancy appears gently, leaving a clean and pleasant finish.
Thanks to its smoothness, Alfar Arbequina is very versatile in the kitchen. It is particularly suitable for toast, salads, vegetables, fish, and pasta, as well as for vinaigrettes and delicate sauces. It can also be used in baking and other preparations where you want to incorporate extra virgin olive oil without adding excessive intensity.
