Why Arbequina? The Olive Oil You Didn’t Know You Needed
Posted on April 03 2025,
Let’s talk Arbequina Olive Oil
If you haven’t heard of it, you’re not alone...but trust us, your kitchen’s about to get a serious upgrade.
Arbequina (say it with us: ar-bay-KEE-na) is a small olive with a big personality. It hails from sunny Spain, Lleida in Catalunya to be exact, and it’s the star of the show in our 100% premium extra virgin olive oil. No blends, no shortcuts. Just pure, single-variety goodness.
So, what makes Arbequina olive oil so special?
It’s all about balance. Arbequina oil is light and buttery, with fruity notes and just a whisper of peppery bite. It doesn’t punch you in the face...it charms you. Smooth, subtle, and seriously versatile.
Use it to dress a salad, drizzle over grilled veg, or finish your scrambled eggs. Heck, dip your bread in it and call it dinner. However you use it, you’ll taste the difference.
Not all olive oils are created equal.
Let’s be real, supermarket shelves are full of “extra virgin” oils that are anything but. Blends from 6 different countries, low-grade oil, confusing labels. It’s a mess. Arbequina cuts through the noise. With its delicate flavour and premium quality, it’s pathway to something better, not bitter.
Why we bottle it solo.
At OilWell, we’re big believers in keeping things simple and delicious. Arbequina is so good, it doesn’t need backup singers. So we bottle it as is, a single variety straight from the groves in Lleida to your squeeze bottle.
