Why we chose it
The altitude of Dílar gives this Arbequina something that those from lower areas lack: complexity. It’s not just sweet and smooth—there’s a surprising spicy touch at the end, and that aftertaste of apple compote and green walnut that gives away that we are dealing with a mountain Arbequina. The Velasco family has managed to make a variety that many consider simple tell a much more interesting story.
Pairing
How to enjoy it
This extra virgin olive oil is ideal for making sauces and mayonnaises. For use in baking, adding nutty notes. To combine with plain yogurt and steamed white fish.
The mill
Quaryat Dillar
This oil mill, which owes its name to the old name of the town of Dílar on the outskirts of Granada, produces Extra Virgin Mountain Olive Oil.
Managed by the Velasco brothers, it carefully produces a range of premium Picual, Arbequina, Blend, and organic oils, as well as a gourmet delight of lemon seasoning based on Arbequina oil.
In addition to their farms, they work with traditional farmers to help preserve and care for varieties like Picudo, producing Extra Virgin Olive Oils.
