More About This Olive Oil
SUSTAINABLY PRODUCED, SMALL BATCH, MULTI-AWARD WINNING
There are only two Spanish olive oils that have received the maximum punctuation of 100 out of 100 from the prestigious Flos Olei competition, and Finca la Torre’s Hojiblanca extra virgin olive oil is one of them. This exceptionally well-balanced olive oil comes from the heart of Andalucía near Malaga, where estate manager Victor 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 incredible output is made with early harvest olives which produces high polyphenol olive oils that are green, fresh and packed with flavour.
