For the best possible taste, it is best used cold and added to a dish at the last moment. Delicious as a dip for bread, with tomatoes, eggs, fish or as a healthy substitute for butter in mashed potatoes. Also great when added to all the different varieties of dried spices available from Oil & Vinegar. The oil goes well with Muscat White Wine Vinegar and Sherry Vinegar. Dressing tip: 1/3 Muscat white wine vinegar – 2/3 Arbequina olive oil.
The olives are harvested by hand from November until January and pressed into oil within hours using the ''cold-pressing method''. This traditional process produces a high-quality olive oil with a low acidity and optimum taste.
In 2005 – 2006 the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture awarded the Cooperation of Montbrío del Camp first prize for the high quality and fruity flavour of its olive oil. Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil was also among the top three international olive oils and won first prize for the best and cleanest pressing system and equipment.
