EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL Under the “L'Estornell” brand – Catalan word for a type of bird that likes olives very much and comes to “help” during harvest time – we bottle two different oils: extra virgin olive oil and a certified organic one, plus a wine vinegar made of “Garnacha” grapes. |

The acidity of the L'ESTORNELL olive oils is very low, between 0.2 and 0.3 – never surpassing 0.5 –, thanks to the rapid milling, carried out within 24 hours of harvesting. It is important to know that the acidity begins to increase from the moment the olive is harvested. These values easily comply with the standards established by the International Olive Council, which sets 0.8º acidity as the maximum for extra virgin olive oil. |
