The origin of the Hacienda ORTIGOSA extra virgin olive oil can be found in the olive groves cared for
by experts who look to previous
generations for their knowledge. Our ancestors taught subsequent
generations to collect the olive at the optimum moment of maturity.
The “Hacienda
Ortigosa” extra virgin olive oil is a natural fruit juice, with all the
properties and characteristics of the arbequina olive. A fresh, fruity
olive, which is green when picked early in the season and yellow-green
later on. It is a solid fruit, with “body”, and a
clean, grassy, herbal aroma. As the olive matures the oil acquires a
stronger yellow colouring, and a softer, sweeter flavour.
It is possible to say that the oil from the arbequina olive is similar
to other oils produced by Mediterranean countries such as Italy and
Greece.
The flavour and aroma of the arbequina olive are unique; fashioned by
nature, ripened by the sun. Once you try, it is impossible to remain
indifferent to the taste.
This oil is for those who enjoy exotic and sensual flavours. It has a
very sweet and pleasant, almond taste, and is not bitter or acidic. Its
aroma is reminiscent of forest and orchard fruits.
The “Hacienda
ORTIGOSA ” extra virgin olive oil is fresh and goes very well with both
fresh and cooked vegetables dishes, and grilled fish. The organoleptic
properties of the arbequina oil also make it ideal for salads, and for
cooking and frying.
