THE ELEGANCE OF THE SIERRA: OUR ARBEQUINA VARIETY
If Villalonga is character and Alfafara is strength, Arbequina represents elegance and delicacy on our estate in the Sierra de Enguera. It is the ideal variety for those looking for a subtle, sweet and harmonious extra virgin olive oil, with the distinctive touch that only mountain cultivation can provide.
SWEETNESS AND ADAPTATION: THE CHARACTER OF THE VALLEY
Unlike more robust varieties, the Arbequina olive tree is compact in shape and highly flexible, thriving in temperate climates and well-drained soils.
- CONSISTENT YIELD: It is our most generous variety in terms of production, allowing us to obtain high-quality oils consistently every season.
- EARLY RIPENING: As it produces smaller fruit, it ripens early, capturing the freshest aromas of early autumn before the intense cold arrives.
MORPHOLOGY: THE BEAUTY OF SMALL THINGS
The Arbequina olive tree is easily recognised by its compact appearance and the delicacy of its fruit:
- THE TREE: It has a weeping habit and medium vigour, with a dense canopy that adapts beautifully to our high-density plantations. Despite its delicate appearance, it shows good resistance to the cold of the mountains.
- THE LEAF: It is small, short and elliptical in shape, with a very characteristic ochre-green colour that sets it apart from larger native varieties.
- THE FRUIT: It is the smallest olive among our varieties, spherical and almost symmetrical in shape. Its early ripening allows us to harvest it at exactly the right moment to preserve its most volatile fragrances.
