Organic Olive Oil Finca la Torre Selección Hojiblanca + Arbequina 500ml

Finca la Torre Tasting Set with Organic Hojiblanca Oil and Arbequina Oil, 500 ml each

Finca la Torre proves with its multi-award-winning premium oils that organic olive oil also enjoys worldwide recognition. In our tasting set, an intensely fruity Hojiblanca oil and a medium-fruity Arbequina oil await you. To compare these two magnificent extra virgin olive oils, you can conduct a small, private olive oil tasting at home.

To do so, ensure you have a neutral taste in your mouth before tasting the olive oil. Next, pour just a few milliliters from each olive oil bottle into a separate glass. Warm the glass a little with your hands before starting the aroma test. Just by smelling, you will not only recognize a multitude of aromas but also notice a difference between the oils.

The difference between Hojiblanca and Arbequina olives

Visual and taste differences between varieties exist not only in apples or potatoes, but also in olives. Therefore, significant variations in smell and taste can also be appreciated in high-quality, single-variety extra virgin olive oils.

• The large, spherical Hojiblanca olive is relatively heavy, weighing up to 4.8 grams. For this reason, it is not only used for oil production but is also gladly consumed as a table olive.
• With an average polyphenol content, this yellowish-green olive oil always presents a slight bitterness on the palate. In the aftertaste, it has a slightly spicy flavor.
• The Arbequina olive, on the other hand, is only slightly larger than a wild olive, which does not detract from its magnificent variety of fruity aromas. Even an olive oil novice can recognize notes of apple and banana in the sweetish Arbequina oil.
• It is precisely the olive oil beginner who is often delighted by the typical, pleasantly mild taste of the golden-yellow Arbequina olive oil. Only Arbequina oils from very young fruits have a slight bitterness. It is also very rare to expect a spicy aftertaste in Arbequina oil.

Let yourself be captivated by two delicious olive oils!

Since the organically grown Hojiblanca from Finca la Torre is cold-pressed from very early harvested fruits, it has a distinct green color. In terms of flavor, it is also among the intensely fruity olive oils and can present, in addition to green herb notes, fruit aromas such as green apple, green almond, and green banana.

The Hojiblanca from Finca la Torre, slightly bitter in the aftertaste, can be characterized as expressive, complex, and progressive. Its pronounced fruity taste lingers on the palate for a while, even after swallowing.

The green organic Arbequina olive oil from Finca la Torre is visually fascinating with a golden shimmer. As it also comes from early-harvested olives, it stands out not only for the typical fruit aromas of apple and banana but also for its notes of green almonds and freshly cut grass. This spicy, medium-fruity organic oil even reveals a hint of bitter almond.

The balanced Arbequina from Finca la Torre is a premium oil that shows no noticeable bitterness and only a little spiciness. Harmonious, pleasant, and wonderfully fruity, this excellent organic extra virgin olive oil pampers the senses.
