LEALTANZA EXTRA VIRGIN ORGANIC OLIVE OIL
Lealtanza extra virgin organic olive oil comes from our own estate, where we grow 70 Hectares of olive trees. The beautiful Arbequina olive groves are harvested by hand, and carefully washed, decanted and separated using a centrifuge. The olive oil is bottled without filtering, to allow it to fully express itself. It is thick, nutty and charmingly luxurious.
The extraordinary uniqueness of this oil is that it is 100 % organic oil. Both the olives trees as well as the entire process of elaboration follow ecological and biological methods.

There are different grades, and some are more flavourful and offer more health benefits Virgin and extra-virgin olive oils tend to be higher in polyphenols (a powerful antioxidant).

Our Lealtanza organic oil has been awarded with a Silver Medal in Ecotrama 2010, and it also obtained a 8.5 and no negative comments in the tasting of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fishing of Spain.
