THE SOUL OF THE SIERRA: OUR VILLALONGA VARIETY

In the heart of the Sierra de Enguera, where mountain cultivation challenges the slopes and the Mediterranean climate becomes purer, our Villalonga variety extra virgin olive oil is born. Considered the jewel of the Spanish Levant, this olive reaches a unique expression on our estates, giving life to a premium extra virgin olive oil crafted for the most demanding palates.

A TERROIR OF ALTITUDE AND CHARACTER

Our Villalonga olive trees do not grow just anywhere. They thrive in stony, limestone-rich soils, surrounded by an ecosystem of pine trees, rosemary and thyme. This mountain dryland environment subjects the tree to moderate water stress, forcing the fruit to concentrate a higher amount of polyphenols and antioxidants, resulting in an oil with superior structure and stability compared to those from lower-altitude areas.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TREE AND THE FRUIT

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

THE TREE: It is highly vigorous with an upright growth habit. It has a dense canopy and a remarkable ability to adapt to limestone soils. Although it is resistant to cold, its “weak point” is its sensitivity to extreme drought, which is why it benefits from sea breezes and moderate rainfall.
THE LEAF: It is typically elliptical-lanceolate in shape, with a very characteristic greyish-green colour.
THE FRUIT: It is medium to large in size with a slightly asymmetrical, oval shape. Its ripening is early; it usually begins changing colour (veraison) at the end of October or beginning of November.

PREMIUM QUALITY IN EVERY DETAIL

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

HARVESTED AT THE OPTIMAL MOMENT: We harvest when the olive is at the point of veraison to maximise aromas, sacrificing yield in favour of quality.
LOW-TEMPERATURE EXTRACTION: We process the fruit below 22°C, protecting the essential oils and vitamins that make this extra virgin olive oil an ally for your health.
PRECISION FILTRATION: We immediately remove any impurities to guarantee brilliant clarity and optimal preservation of its organoleptic properties.

TASTING NOTES: A SENSORY EXPERIENCE

Every drop of our Premium Villalonga reflects the landscape of Enguera. Thanks to early harvesting and immediate cold extraction, we have managed to capture:

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.
ON THE PALATE: Its entry is fluid and elegant. It shows a masterful balance between gentle bitterness and progressive pungency, a clear sign of its high concentration of natural antioxidants.
FINISH: A persistent and complex aftertaste, leaving hints of green nuts and wild aromatic herbs.

HEALTH BENEFITS

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

HIGH OLEIC ACID CONTENT: Helps regulate cholesterol levels, increasing HDL (“good” cholesterol) and reducing LDL (“bad” cholesterol).
RICH IN POLYPHENOLS: Contains a high concentration of natural antioxidants that protect cells against oxidative stress and help prevent cardiovascular disease.
VITAMIN E: Essential for skin health and the immune system.

THE PERFECT PAIRING

Villalonga extra virgin olive oil from the Sierra de Enguera is the ideal companion for enhancing quality ingredients without masking them. It is sublime drizzled over artisan farmhouse bread, ideal for finishing grilled white fish, elevating the flavour of tender leaf salads, or pairing with mature sheep’s cheese.
