HOT ! Scandalusia Premium Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 500ml

Single Estate · Cold Extracted · Cádiz, Spain

Harvested in the hills of Cádiz and pressed at a local mill to preserve freshness, our Arbequina challenges expectations. This is not a flat or neutral extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). With very low acidity (0.21%) and a clean, smooth entry that sharpens into a subtle phenolic bite, our EVOO shows structure and personality rarely found in this variety.

Production was limited to 3,500 litres for the season. Every bottle comes from a single estate and a single variety, while blending oils made from olives harvested in early October and late November 2025. This approach creates a more layered profile; fresh and green from early harvest fruit, rounded by the softer depth of later-picked olives.

Cold extracted and mechanically produced, this Arbequina EVOO is versatile yet precise. It excels as a finishing oil, for salads, vegetables, bread, and refined everyday cooking. It also performs exceptionally well in baking, where it can replace butter for a cleaner, more aromatic result.
