La Osera Arbequina, 250 ml tin

La Osera, organic mountain olive oil

The real story is the landscape; the oil is its consequence. At 700 to 1,100 metres, on the edge of the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Natural Park, olive trees live among holm oaks, pines and rosemary: 60% of the estate is organic mountain grove and 40% preserved Mediterranean forest.

The slope means nearly everything is done by hand, and the olives are milled within three hours of picking when conditions allow. Each bottle holds that whole mountain year.

The oil

Early-harvest Arbequina: gentle, aromatic and balanced, with a fresh, fruity profile that accompanies without overpowering other ingredients.
