More About This Olive Oil

ROBUST, INTENSE, SMALL BATCH, MULTI-AWARD WINNING 

This intensely robust olive oil comes from the heart of Andalucía near Malaga, where estate manager Victor Serrano carefully tends the organic and biodynamic groves and year after year produces olive oil that wins gold in the most prestigious competitions all over the world. 

Located northwest of Antequera in Malaga on land once used by the Romans for olive oil production, the Finca la Torre farm consists of 34,000 olive trees, some planted as far back as 1840. Production is limited to just 60,000 litres per year and always sells out.

All of Finca la Torre’s production is early harvest which produces olive oil that is green and fresh with high levels of polyphenols.
