Olive oil making process:
The olives are picked by hand and cold extracted (<27ºC) in order to obtain the full frutiness of the olive and to preserve the primary aromas. The oil is not filtered, rather it is decanted following the lunar calendar, according to grandmother Pilar Fàbregas ’s methods. The temperature during the whole process – from the extraction of the oil until it is bottled is very important and is kept between 18-19 °C.
Food Recommendation:
This is a delicate olive oil which should be used to dress a finished dish. For example, it works well drizzled over vegetables or grilled meat or fish, once taken off the grill. It is ideal for Catalan tomato bread (Pa amb Tomaquet). If you are serving chocolate, add a few drops of this oil and a dash of salt.
