Description
An olive variety originating in Spain, our Arbequina has a soft, buttery texture and gentle bitterness. It shows notes of cut grass, walnut and warm spice with a subtle peppery finish.
Our Arbequina olive oil is the perfect option for delicate dishes that call for balance. Think subtle salad dressings, sweet and savoury baking applications or confiting your favourite protein or vegetables.
Chemistry / Nutrition:
* Total Biophenols; 190 parts per million. Biophenols are the antioxidants that give extra virgin olive oil its great flavour (pepperiness & bitterness) and incredible health properties. Typical oils range between 120 ppm and 350 pmm.
* Free Fatty Acid (FFA); 0.1%. To be considered extra virgin olive oil the oil must have a free acidity, expressed as free oleic acid, of no more than 0.8 grams per 100 grams and no sensory defects. In a sense, the FFA level indicates the fruit’s condition at the time the oil was extracted. It’s essentially a freshness quotient.
Bag-in-Box Packaging:
Freshness is the key to quality olive oil and with that in mind we have developed the perfect packaging for our larger volume (2L and 15L) EVOO products. The ‘bag in box’ protects our oil from its two greatest enemies – light and oxygen, keeping the oil fresher, for longer.
Our Premium Promise:
All Mount Zero Olive Oil is cold-pressed (room temperature) just hours after harvest to maintain premium quality. Similarly, our 100% Australian olive oils come from the first pressing of the olives which is what the term ‘extra virgin’ refers to.
