Masia el Altet Special Selection Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Valencia, Spain, 16.9 fl oz (500ml)
Product Description
The exceptional extra virgin olive oils of Masía el Altet are produced from native olives collected in the fields of the Alicante Mountains of Valencia, an area with a unique microclimate that allows the production of olives. Their rural farm in the town of Alcoy is located in a narrow valley known as Polop, surrounded by mountains, pines, oaks and junipers. Bushes of sage, thyme, rosemary and mint dot the hillsides, contributing to the extraordinary beauty of the area known as the "Kingdom of Valencia." During the harvest season, the olives are picked at the ideal state of maturity and immediately transferred to the olive mill where they are cold-extracted, decanted, and preserved with nitrogen in stainless steel tanks, ensuring the oil's quality and integrity. The oils of Masía el Altet are prized by chefs and continue to garner some of the most prestigious awards in the world, including Gold in 2019 at the New York Olive Oil Competition.

A family company dedicated to the land that sustains them.
The land where Masía el Altet grows their olives deserves much of the accolades for the quality of the oil. Their unique olive varieties also produce flavors that help elevate both the blends and brand itself. However, without the passion and dedication of Jorge Petit and his son Jorge, the oils the olives produce would not be the same. As he says, “it is still a cultivated species that requires human intervention in order to bring out the best in itself, and in a great show of generosity, to deliver its finest fruit.” Jorge and his family live on the farm and each day they visit the trees to observe their evolution and return the love and generosity the trees have given them. "Our products are a consequence of passion, love, the land, how the land is worked, and water. Without these elements, it would be difficult to produce one of the best extra virgin olive oils."
