Set d’Oli, an exceptional extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

How many times have we told you that our products are like their producers? And we will never get tired of saying it. Without a doubt, it is the biggest distinction you will find in our gourmet selection. Because there are as many brands as you want, but people with values are not so many. Albert Ferré, owner of Set d’Oli, is an EVOO guru. I think he even understands the olive trees when he talks to them. And we say that because the result of his extra virgin olive oils from the arbequina variety is exceptional. And it’s not just us saying it, but you too when you choose it in your purchases.

Set d’Oli controls the entire process from their estate in Figuerola del Camp, Tarragona: they decide harvest timing during the season, select the olives in the field so none arrive with a scratch, press them immediately in their own mill, and voilà, we have the EVOO — by the way, 100% organic. They play with different estates to obtain nuances. Differences in elevation, wind and orientation give the olives different development times and qualities. Set d’Oli 100% arbequina, with the best olives selected to make an excellent oil. So that year after year, we find the unmistakable organoleptic qualities in this marvel. "Ah, and very importantly, something that characterizes them is that they bottle as production is sold! Unlike wine, oil gets worse over time, and oxidation is lower in a barrel than in a bottle. They are not competing with time; they don’t want to sell for the sake of selling — they only want an oil that reaches excellence." Because Made in Spain means Quality.

This EVOO has a fruity olive flavor and notes of other fruits such as apple, banana and almond, with a touch of sweetness and an absence of bitterness and peppery heat. The olive oil from this arbequina variety is delicate in both concept and structure. Set d’Oli oils are the result of organically produced olives selected by Albert Ferré first in the field and later through tastings and coupages at the mill. An ideal oil for grilled fish, fruit salads, mild dressings and baking. It’s also fantastic for your toast or for pairing with your cheeses, both fresh and aged.
