Softness to enhance flavour
BelOleum Arbequina is elaborated using Arbequina olives, originating from the Campo de Belchite area.
It is one of the most renowned Spanish varieties, and its geographical scope extends through the Aragonese area, Catalonia, Castilla La Mancha and some parts of Andalusia.
Arbequina olives are small, round and a shiny green-purple colour. They are highly appreciated for their early production period (average ripening from the first week of November to the first week of December), high productivity levels and good fat yield -over 20.5% of oil, making it one of the varieties with the highest oil extraction percentage.
