Two different Extra Virgin olive oils are bottled under the “L'Estornell” label. (L’Estornell is a Catalan bird that always shows up to "help" at harvest time). The two types of oil produced are Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
The "Arbequina" variety originated in this area. It is grown in the south of the province of Lleida, at an altitude of 400 metres. This variety withstands very cold, foggy winters and extreme, dry summer heat. These factors help produce a robust oil of very high quality.
Veá has developed a unique cold extraction method with a very short milling time before the extraction, which helps to create an oil with lower peroxide levels and therefore a longer shelf life.
This oil has a golden-green colour, a fresh character and a mildly spicy finish.
