Tasting notes
An Arbequina with a green grass and fruit puree aroma, with touches of cinnamon and red tomato. Banana appears at the end. On the palate it enters sweet, then a bitterness appears that is slightly more intense than the pungency. The aftertaste recalls almond, biscuit, and green nuts.
Pairing
Ideal paired with yoghurt, curd cheese, chopped fruit, and desserts in general. Also for making sauces and mayonnaises, as well as for dressing potato, pasta, and quinoa-based salads. Pairs with avocado toast, turkey, fresh cheese, and sun-dried tomato.
The Penarrubia Arbequina has something I do not find in others: a bitterness slightly more intense than the pungency, which is unusual in this variety. That comes from the limestone soils of Hellin and from a grove where geese do the work that herbicides do elsewhere. The cinnamon and biscuit on the nose are touches I always mention in tastings when I want to demonstrate that terroir completely transforms an Arbequina.
Know every detail

The Penarrubia Arbequina has something you will not find in others: the geese. It is not a joke — on this estate they keep geese that take care of controlling the weeds between the olive trees, eliminating the need for herbicides. When they tell you an oil is organic, this is the level they are talking about.
The Arbequina variety gives a smooth oil from the start, but here the story does not end there. The limestone soils and continental climate of the Sierra de Segura add nuances that a lowland Arbequina does not have: green grass, cinnamon, red tomato, a finish of biscuit and green nuts. The bitterness appears above the pungency, something unusual in Arbequina, giving it a structure that makes it more interesting.
From tree to mill in less than 3 hours. Cold extraction, separating varieties and cultivation zones. Each batch is traceable to the individual plot.
Perfect for fish, salads, creams, and desserts. An oil that invites you to go back for more.
EU organic certification.
It is the Arbequina with the geese. It sounds like a joke, but when you explain that geese replace herbicides, people understand what truly organic means. Besides, the oil has a note of cinnamon and biscuit that surprises. Customers who try it always remember it.

Production
From olive to liquid gold. Harvesting, milling and extraction.
Las ocas sustituyen a los herbicidas. Se alimentan de las hierbas que crecen entre los olivos, manteniendo el suelo limpio de forma natural. Ademas, su estiercol sirve como abono. Es ganaderia integrada en agricultura — un modelo circular que no necesita quimica.
Empieza suave, pero no se queda ahi. El suelo calizo y el clima de la Sierra de Segura le dan una complejidad inusual para Arbequina: notas de canela, galleta y un amargo que domina sobre el picante. Es una Arbequina con estructura.
Que cada lote de aceite se puede rastrear hasta la zona exacta del olivar donde se recolecto la aceituna. Separan variedades y zonas de cultivo durante toda la extraccion. Sabes exactamente de donde viene tu aceite.
Pescados blancos, ensaladas, cremas frias, verduras al vapor, reposteria. Es un aceite que complementa sin competir. Ideal como aceite de acabado sobre un plato ya emplatado.
Si, exactamente. Misma finca, misma almazara, misma filosofia ecologica. La unica diferencia es la variedad de aceituna.

Un acierto! Lo compré para un regalo y gustó mucho
Un acierto! Lo compré para un regalo y gustó mucho. Es una forma diferente de tener un detalle más allá del típico vino que no todo el mundo consume... y además más original. Muy rica y con un packaging genial.
