“The indomitable spirit of Arbequina: a single-varietal olive oil grown in the demanding climate of La Rioja, shaped by the elements and alive with its fullest expression of flavor.”
In the world of olive oil, Arbequina is often known for its gentle, delicate profile. But La Rioja tells a different story. Frost, heat, wind, and challenging soils shape our Arbequina in a growing environment unlike that of the regions traditionally associated with this variety.
The result is an intense, expressive, ultra-premium single-varietal EVOO. Vivid green fruitiness meets velvety sweetness and balanced bitterness, followed by a vibrant peppery finish and an elegant, lingering aftertaste of nuts.
An Arbequina shaped by the elements. Bold, complex, and unmistakably ECORTIGOSO.
Every ECORTIGOSO bottle includes a QR code linking to independent analytical data and longitudinal monitoring specific to its lot. This commitment to transparency is part of the ECORTIGOSO Longevity Series, our ongoing research into the evolution and longevity of Organic High-Stability Unfiltered EVOO.

Description
Appearance
A luminous canvas of golden yellow, with soft, elegant glimmers of emerald green.
Ripeness
Harvested at veraison, mid-season, capturing the ideal transition between lively green freshness and the refined complexity of ripening fruit.
Aroma
Intense green fruitiness brings vibrant notes of freshly cut grass and tomato leaf, intertwined with crisp, clean layers of green apple and fresh green almond (alloza).
Palate
Light and fluid on the palate, opening with delicate, velvety sweetness reminiscent of ripe banana. A well-structured, medium bitterness follows, evoking artichoke and green walnut.
Finish
A bright, gradually building peppery sensation brings a pleasant touch of spice to the throat, culminating in a long, clean finish of remarkable persistence.
Overall Impression
A captivating, beautifully balanced and rounded extra virgin olive oil. Its signature contrast is the golden hue of mid-ripening olives and a strikingly fresh, green-fruit profile. It brings lively herbal notes into graceful harmony.
Pairings
An ideal finishing oil for delicate gourmet dishes. Drizzle it uncooked over fresh salads, chilled tomato soups such as gazpacho, baked white fish, creamy cheeses, or fruit purées. Or simply pour it over a crisp slice of warm, artisanal sourdough bread.
