Description
Arbequina is the olive that turns skeptics into enthusiasts. Small and delicate, this cultivar — grown in Portugal — produces a smooth, buttery oil that’s famously approachable: fruity and mild, with sweet almond and green-apple notes and only a gentle peppery finish.
Its light body and low bitterness make it endlessly versatile. Use it for everyday cooking and finishing, in delicate sauces like aioli and mayonnaise, drizzled over fish and seafood, or as a butter substitute in baking, where its mild sweetness shines.
