What Makes a Great Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Most olive oils are blended, refined and stripped of the very compounds that make them worth using. Great EVOO is the opposite — a single-origin product that carries the character of its land, its harvest and its producer in every drop.
Cold-Pressed, Not Compromised
Our Sierra de Gata extra virgin olive oil is cold-pressed within hours of harvest, preserving the full spectrum of polyphenols, antioxidants and natural flavour that heat and time destroy.
A Protected Origin
The Sierra de Gata is one of Spain's most unspoiled natural reserves — ancient olive groves in northern Extremadura, far from industrial agriculture. The altitude, the soil and the climate produce an extra virgin olive oil unlike anything you will find on a supermarket shelf.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of extra virgin olive oil?
Rich in oleic acid, polyphenols and antioxidants, cold-pressed EVOO has been linked to cardiovascular health and reduced inflammation — but only when the oil retains these compounds through proper pressing and bottling.
What is the difference between extra virgin and regular olive oil?
Extra virgin is cold-pressed with no heat or chemical treatment, retaining its natural polyphenols and flavour. Regular olive oil is refined and stripped of most of what makes it worth consuming.
