Castelanotti Arbequino Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a family business, run by owners who have cultivated, picked, and milled olives for generations (since 1941). This excellent extra virgin olive oil comes from Mágina in eastern Andalusia.
Castelanotti Arbequino Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced exceptionally stringent standards, twice even stricter than those required by the International Olive Council. For example, the IOC requires as acidity of extra virgin oil is the maximum degree 1, while Thuelma is produced with a maximum strength of 0.5.
With a bright, vegetable green color, Castelanotti Arbequino has a nose that is fruity, fresh and fragrant. On the palate, a slightly bitter flavor predominates, with the very intense olive taste that leaves a delicious taste and offers a long aftertaste. Ideal for dressing salads and starters.
