ORGANIC OLIVE OIL

For our olive oil collection we have chosen ARTAJO, in the south of the Basque Country, for its production of high-end organic extra virgin olive oil, a Basque product that is often overlooked!

WORLD NO. 2 🏆

ORGANIC EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL:

The varieties and degree of maturity differentiate the oils.

ARTAJO produces only extra virgin olive oil. The varieties and degree of ripeness are what differentiate the range of oils. Green olives offer very high fresh and fruity aromas, but a low yield, and as they ripen, the aromas mellow and the fat yield increases. With this in mind, three ranges of extra virgin olive oil are produced: Artajo 6, Artajo 8, and Artajo 10.
