VILLALONGA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL 500 ml

In the heart of the Sierra de Enguera, where mountain cultivation challenges the slopes and the Mediterranean climate becomes purer, our Villalonga variety EVOO is born. Considered the jewel of the Spanish Levant, this olive reaches a unique expression in our estates, creating a high-end extra virgin olive oil crafted for the most discerning palates.

A High-Altitude and Characterful Terroir

Our Villalonga olive trees do not grow just anywhere. They are planted in stony, calcareous soils, surrounded by an ecosystem of pines, rosemary, and thyme. This mountain dryland environment subjects the tree to moderate water stress, forcing the fruit to concentrate more polyphenols and antioxidants, resulting in an oil with superior structure and stability compared to lowland areas.

The Villalonga is not just an olive; it is a tree with a very distinct personality that adapts perfectly to the Mediterranean climate.

The Tree: It is vigorous with an upright stature. It has a dense canopy and a remarkable ability to adapt to calcareous soils. Although resistant to cold, its “weak point” is sensitivity to extreme drought, so it benefits from the sea breeze and a moderate rainfall regime.

The Leaf: Usually elliptic-lanceolate in shape, with a very characteristic grayish-green color.

The Fruit: Medium to large in size with a slightly asymmetrical, ovoid shape. It ripens early, usually beginning to change color (veraison) in late October or early November.

Premium Quality in Every Detail

Our commitment to excellence begins at the tree and ends in the bottle:

Harvested at the Optimal Moment: We collect the olives at the perfect stage of veraison to maximize aromas, sacrificing yield for quality.

Low-Temperature Extraction: The fruit is processed below 22°C, protecting the essential oils and vitamins that make this EVOO an ally for your health.

Precision Filtration: Any impurities are removed instantly to ensure brilliant clarity and optimal preservation of its organoleptic properties.

Tasting Notes: A Sensory Experience

Every drop of our Villalonga Premium reflects the landscape of Enguera. Thanks to an early harvest (Early Picking) and immediate cold extraction, we have captured:

On the Nose: An explosion of green freshness. Clear notes of freshly cut grass, tomato plant, and fig leaf stand out, with a subtle background evoking green almond (alloza).

On the Palate: Its entry is fluid and elegant. It presents a masterful balance between a gentle bitterness and progressive spiciness, a clear sign of its high concentration of natural antioxidants.

Finish: A persistent and complex aftertaste that leaves hints of green nuts and wild aromatic herbs.

An Ally in the Kitchen and for Health

As a high-quality extra virgin olive oil, Villalonga is a “superfood”:

High Oleic Acid Content: Helps regulate cholesterol levels by increasing HDL (good) and reducing LDL (bad).

Rich in Polyphenols: Contains a high load of natural antioxidants that protect cells against oxidative stress and help prevent cardiovascular diseases.

Vitamin E: Essential for skin health and the immune system.

The Perfect Pairing

Villalonga EVOO from the Sierra de Enguera is the ideal companion to enhance ingredients without masking them. It is sublime on artisan country bread, perfect for finishing grilled white fish, boosting the flavor of tender leaf salads, or accompanying aged sheep cheeses.
