A real gem of an ecological extra virgin olive oil, highly unusual in that it comes from the northerly region of La Rioja and is 100% arbequina olives. In fact this is a hobby for the makers of our Cameros cheese, they only have 15 hectares of trees which is enough to produce about 15,000 bottles a year (7,500 litres). 

The olive trees in this more temperate region less productive than their more southerly equivalents - fewer olives means a higher intensity of flavour. In addition, the olives are picked exclusively by hand and are pressed almost immediately after harvest. The olives are less agressively pressed so the oil has a very distinctive fresh, grassy green taste with a rounded, sweet aftertaste and a hint of pepper you get with greener oils.

500ml bottle.

Top tip: don't slosh this stuff around! Instead, drizzle on fish, such as sea bass, before lightly baking. The pepper in the oil works really well with the gentle sweetness of the fish.
