Item Description

3 varieties, 3 Flavors, for a "unique" sensation; the essence of the olive, the most characteristic flavor of the Mediterranean gastronomy.

Without a doubt this case of three olive oils represents total perfection: liquid gold. 

This case contains 3 different olive oils from 3 different olives, representing the typicity of the Tarragona Region.

Arbequina (80% of the plantation) is the most common variety in Catalonia and gives a small fruit that is harvested between late October and early December. The resulting olive oil is very smooth and fruity.

Arbosana (15% of the plantation) is a native Catalan variety that was once in danger of extinction and has been saved in part by La Boella’s pioneering work. It also gives a small fruit that is harvested between the end of November and the middle of December. Its olive oil is greenish with a strong character. It is characterized by its ability to maintain harmony between bitterness, spiciness and astringency.

Koroneiki (5% of the plantation) is a variety of Greek origin with a small, elongated fruit that is harvested at the end of November. The result is a fruity, dark green and highly complex olive oil with considerable stability.
