About Arbequina Extra Virgin 5L

Molino La Condesa is a specialist Spanish producer dedicated to the Arbequina variety from the highlands of Catalonia. In particular, Arbequina is Spain’s most distinctive olive variety — small, fruity and with a character entirely its own. As a result, La Condesa Arbequina wins recognition at leading international olive oil competitions. Furthermore, the 5-litre format provides exceptional value for a high-volume professional kitchen or a committed home cook. However, always decant into a smaller container for daily use to minimise oxidation of the bulk supply. In particular, Arbequina produces an oil with a characteristically fruity, almond-sweet character and a gentle peppery finish. That combination makes it one of the most versatile and enjoyable everyday olive oils available. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Arbequina Extra Virgin 5L From Us

Using extra virgin olive oil well requires understanding when to use heat and when not to. In contrast to refined oils, EVOO has a smoke point of around 190°C — adequate for most cooking. As a result, it suits sautéing, roasting and dressing equally well. Furthermore, the finest EVOO deserves a role as a finishing oil drizzled over a completed dish. However, always store olive oil away from heat and light to preserve its polyphenols. In particular, a dark bottle or tin is always preferable to clear glass for storage. Moreover, taste olive oil as you would wine — a good EVOO has fruitiness, bitterness and a peppery finish. Additionally, check the harvest year on the label — olive oil is finest within 18 months of pressing. That freshness is the mark of outstanding extra virgin olive oil.

How to Use Arbequina Extra Virgin 5L

To get the very best from it:

• Decant into a smaller dark bottle or cruet for daily use and seal the main container tightly.
• Use generously for roasting, sautéing and pan-frying where the quality of the oil genuinely improves the dish.
• Furthermore, use as a finishing oil over soups, pasta and grilled vegetables for outstanding results.
• Additionally, make vinaigrette in larger batches using this oil as a high-quality everyday base.

Perfect Pairings

This product pairs beautifully with:

• Pasta, roasted vegetables and grilled fish or meat as an everyday oil
• Vinaigrette with sherry vinegar and Dijon mustard
• Good bread and fresh tomato for a classic Spanish pan con tomate
• Any preparation that benefits from a fruity, high-quality Spanish EVOO

Storage: Store in a cool, dark place and decant into a smaller container for daily use. Furthermore, minimising air contact with the bulk supply extends the freshness considerably. However, do not refrigerate the main container. Best used within 18 months of the harvest date on the label.

However you use it, this product brings a character and quality that only carefully sourced extra virgin olive oil can deliver. Moreover, the finest olive oil always rewards simple preparation and quality ingredients alongside it.
