Arbequina Olives — Why They Make the Best Extra Virgin Olive Oil

When it comes to crafting high-quality extra virgin olive oil, not all olives are created equal. One varietal stands out for its delicate flavor, aromatic richness, and versatility in the kitchen: Arbequina.

Originally from Catalonia, Spain, Arbequina olives have made a name for themselves globally — and for good reason. These small, light brown-green olives produce an oil that’s smooth, fruity, and low in bitterness, making it a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike.

At Angelica’s Olive Oil, we use 100% organic Arbequina olives grown in the USA. Why? Because they offer:

  •  Balanced Flavor – Notes of almond, apple, and a light peppery finish
  •  Silky Texture – Ideal for finishing dishes or drizzling over raw ingredients
  •  Low Acidity – Better for digestion and longer shelf life

Whether you’re dipping fresh bread, roasting vegetables, or dressing a salad, Arbequina olive oil adds depth without overpowering your food.

Taste it for yourself — and discover why this little olive is a big deal.
