Two award Winning Extra Virgin Olive Oils: Masia el Altet Premium and Masia el Altet High Quality. Masi el Altet Premium is intense Fruity, sweet and aromatic, with great Complexity and Character. It has notes of newly-picked tomato, banana (very pronounced), apple, green almonds, fresh herbs, kiwi, artichoke and aromatic plants. It is a "Coupage" or blend of 5 varieties of olives; approximately 30% Changlot Real, 30% Picual and 40% of native varieties: Genovesa, Blanqueta and Alfafarenca which helps to create and oil with great personality- distinct from any other.
Masia el Altet High Quality is is a "Coupage" or blend of 5 varieties of olives; approximately 60% Picual, 20% Arbequina and 20% of native varieties: Genovesa, Blanqueta and Alfafarenca that confers it a different character but keeps the swetness and fragrance of the "Terroir."
Masia el Altet olive oils enjoy an unusual low acidity of about 0.09% that makes it a rarity in the olive oil world, this characteristic alone is pursued by many connoisseurs.
The production is limited to the Estate which is comprised of an olive grove situated in a unique environment. Half of the Estate is located in Sierra Mariola Natural Park and the other half in the northern slope of Font Roja Natural Park- this is in the middle of the Alicante Mountains of Spain. The olive grove is at an altitude of 780-830 mts. above sea level and benefits from an uncommon Mediterranean microclimate with a Continental influence that give brief Spring and Autumn seasons, temperate Summers and very cold Winters. The latter makes it difficult for olive trees to grow but has proved to be a positive factor in the quality of the oil.
Harvested Pre-Envero in early Autumn 2010 to maximize the content of antioxidants and other health promoting nutrients
To conserve the health promoting compounds best used cold: dippings, salad dressings or just added cold to a hot dish at the time of serving.
