Basilippo Selección Arbequina
Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Arbequina olives grown in the land of Los Alcores (Sevilla) and harvested at the optimum time of ripeness (“envero”). In order to obtain one liter, 8-9 kg are needed (the usual amount would be 5 kg), thus achieving the best ratio between quality and quantity.
