The Molino Arbequina olives are harvested in mid-November with a free acidity level of less than 0.1%. This is an olive oil with delicate fruitiness, pleasant notes of parsley, green banana, and apple persist without overwhelming bitterness. Molino Arbequina EVOO has a versatility that can enhance a wide variety of dishes. While being an affordable cooking option in professional kitchens, it is also a perfect finish for delicate white fish dishes or pastries. Produced by the makers of O-Med, Molino Arbequina is a cost effective way to have high quality extra virgin from a single source grower and producer on your shelves or in your kitchen. Owned and operated by the Garcia-Casas family in Acula, Andalusia, in southern Spain, O-Med have been harvesting their own olive trees for four generations and producing extra virgin olive oil for two. In 2005 they purchased a mill in order to produce the highest quality olive oil possible by controlling each step of the process from olive groves to mill to bottle. O-Med produces early harvest EVOO in order to preserve the best organoleptic properties in the oils. As farmers, sustainability is of foremost importance to O-Med where solar power and an incinerator which burns the olive pits produce 40% of the mill’s energy needs. O-Med is a founding member of QvExtra, a seal which certifies quality level is higher than current legislative requirements.
