Producer’s Notes:
Oil of the Day: freshly pressed unfiltered Arbequina EVOO. Intense green colour, powerful palate and exceptional aroma. Only available October to December.
The Aceite del Día (Day's Oil) is a unique experience: a freshly made Arbequina extra-virgin produced each day during the harvest campaign, presented unfiltered - preserving every essence of the freshly pressed fruit.
The surprise is guaranteed: an intensely green colour, a powerful palate with the characteristic bitterness and pungency of new oil, and an aromatic intensity that no filtered oil can match.
Available only from October to December, during the milling campaign. An ephemeral product that captures the exact moment of the harvest - for true olive oil enthusiasts.
Arbequina variety:
Arbequina, a traditional Spanish olive variety, ranks as the second most popular variety in Spain in terms of crop area. The olive oil derived from Arbequina boasts aromatic, sweet, and fruity notes, accompanied by a subtle bitterness. Common aromas associated with this variety include green grass, tomato, apple, banana, and ripe fruit. Generally, oils produced from Arbequina olives exhibit low oxidation resistance. To address this, producers frequently blend Arbequina olive oil with other varieties to enhance overall stability in terms of aroma, body, and resistance to oxidation.

ElOlivo review:
This oil is just amazing!
The ‘Oli of the Day’ is made to celebrate each day of the harvest. Unfiltered, super fresh, with a beautiful green colour and bursting with character.
And although it’s made from Arbequina olives, it’s surprisingly powerful on the palate! Expect lovely green aromas, a distinctive bitterness and a proper peppery kick.
A little something worth knowing about unfiltered olive oil: That lovely cloudy appearance comes from tiny droplets of water and bits of olive pulp naturally suspended in the oil. But there's a catch! Over time, these can cause the oil to deteriorate more quickly, affecting its flavour, colour and freshness.
That's why unfiltered olive oil is best enjoyed while it's fresh. And this one is definitely for enjoying raw! Drizzle it over salads, vegetables, fresh bread or anything that deserves a splash of really good olive oil. Don't cook with it - enjoy all those lovely fresh flavours just as they are.
One more thing - it's a limited release! Once it's sold out, that's it until next year's harvest. So if you're tempted, don't leave it too long!
If you're really into your olive oils, this one is a must-try!
