La Tourangelle Organic Bright & Peppery Extra Virgin Olive Oil

La Tourangelle Extra Virgin Olive Oil is cold pressed from olives that are harvested early in the season in Andalucía, Spain. Processing shortly after harvest preserves the naturally high antioxidant levels and yields a well-balanced, extra fresh oil, that is bright, peppery, and ideal for daily cooking. Our Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes from Puente de Genave, a region within the Natural Park of the Sierra de Segura in Spain. The olive oil is often called “mountain olive oil.” Because the trees are in a somewhat stressed environment, they develop high level of antioxidants. This olive varietal has a high oleic acid content. Both high antioxidant and high oleic count make for a very stable and healthy olive oil.
