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 Arbequina from Pago de Penarrubia is one of those Arbequinas I look forward to tasting every year. Complex, elegant and well-rounded. Made with tremendous care by people who are passionate about their craft, and it clearly shows in the product.
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.

Extra virgin olive oil is a fresh product. Its quality depends on proper storage and consuming it within its optimal date. If an online shop does not tell you which lot it will ship or when it expires, you have no way of knowing if what you receive is from this harvest or two years ago.
Be wary of shops that do not publish this information. We show it because we believe you have the right to know exactly what you are buying.

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.
The geese replace herbicides. They feed on the weeds that grow between the olive trees, keeping the soil clean naturally. Also, their droppings serve as fertiliser. It's livestock integrated into agriculture -- a circular model that doesn't need chemicals.
It starts mild, but it doesn't stay there. The chalky soil and climate of the Sierra de Segura give it an unusual complexity for an Arbequina: notes of cinnamon, biscuit and a bitterness that dominates over the pungency. An Arbequina with structure.
That each batch of oil can be traced to the exact area of the grove where the olives were harvested. They separate varieties and growing areas throughout extraction. You know exactly where your oil comes from.
White fish, salads, cold creams, steamed vegetables, baking. It's an oil that complements without competing. Ideal as a finishing oil drizzled over a plated dish.
Yes, exactly. Same estate, same olive oil mill, same organic philosophy. The only difference is the olive variety.
