WHERE TO BUY GOOD QUALITY EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL?

Extra virgin olive oil is an essential ingredient in the Mediterranean diet and is considered a true health balm for its heart-healthy properties. It is rich in monounsaturated fats and its polyphenols dilate the arteries and help reduce blood pressure. It also contains vitamins and antioxidants that help lower cholesterol.

Many people are concerned about their diet and health and want to make sure they buy good extra virgin olive oil, being wary of some offers in supermarkets of dubious national origin, or of those sold in flea markets and blends with few controls on purity and shelf life.

To be sure that the oil we are going to buy meets the desired quality, it is best to go directly to the producers, i.e. to the oil mills, which are very abundant in the olive-growing areas, where we can see in situ how this precious liquid gold that we have the privilege of enjoying in our country is produced. There we can taste it and choose the type of oil we like best and in the containers we need. Nowadays, the ease of transport makes it easier to buy it if we cannot travel to the place of origin and it will be delivered to our home.

At L’Espluga Calba we make extra virgin olive oil from 100% Arbequina olives, small in size and with an intense flavour. Harvested in the field at the peak of ripeness, they are washed to remove leaves and impurities and pressed immediately at our facilities. The oil we obtain, under the brand name Spelunca, is recognised by the Les Garrigues Denomination of Origin, and is one of the best both for its healthy properties and its delicious flavour, for which it has been awarded several prizes.
