2025 Bohigas Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500ml

Fermí Bohigas is better known for cava. The family has farmed the same estate in Òdena — up in the Anoia, where Catalonia's central plain runs into the Pre-Coastal range — for generations, and the olives grow on the same ground as the vines.

That in-between spot does the work. Harsh, dry continental winters on one side; the milder, humid Mediterranean pull of the Penedès on the other. The trees are all Arbequina, the Catalan classic, picked late October into November when the fruit hits peak ripeness and trucked straight to the mill so nothing bruises.

Then they slow everything down: careful grinding, low temperature, very low yield per olive.

You lose volume, you keep character. What lands in the bottle is the gentle end of the arbequina spectrum — no green pepper burn, no bitterness to fight. Tomato leaf and tender almond, soft on the finish.

This is a raw-and-finishing oil: over a good tomato, white fish, a fried egg, warm bread.
