Nobleza del Sur: Tradicion 1640 Arbequina

EARLY HARVEST 2025

A 100% Arbequina extra virgin olive oil from Jaén, southern Spain, produced by Nobleza del Sur on the Finca El Campillo estate. This oil is made from carefully selected olives and cold-extracted within hours of harvest to preserve its natural aroma, freshness, and delicate flavour profile.

Unlike more robust Picual oils, Arbequina is known for its smooth, approachable character. It shows a medium fruitiness with soft green and ripe notes of green apple, banana, and almond, alongside light herbal undertones. On the palate it is rounded and gentle, with a very low bitterness and a mild, well-integrated peppery finish that builds subtly rather than sharply.

The result is a versatile extra virgin olive oil that works beautifully in everyday cooking. It is especially well suited to dishes where a lighter touch is desired—fresh salads, steamed or grilled vegetables, white fish, chicken, pasta, and mild cheeses. It can also be used in baking or desserts where its soft fruit character enhances rather than dominates.

Balanced, elegant, and easy to enjoy, this Arbequina reflects the precision and care of early-stage oil production while offering a softer alternative to more intense green olive oils in the range.
