Arbosana Extra Virgin Olive Oil (California) – Mild

$23.95

Our California Arbosana Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a beautifully balanced oil that delivers remarkable complexity in a smooth, approachable package. Harvested in November 2025 from California's Central San Joaquin Valley, this ultra-premium olive oil showcases the distinctive character that has made Arbosana one of the most sought-after olive varieties in the world.

The flavor opens with notes of sweet apple peel and fresh orchard fruit before revealing a rich, creamy almond center. A delicate dry herb finish provides balance and sophistication, creating an olive oil that is elegant, versatile, and exceptionally food-friendly.

With a smoke point of 406°F, California Arbosana performs equally well as a finishing oil and a cooking oil. Its mild intensity makes it ideal for those who appreciate nuanced flavor without overwhelming bitterness or pungency, while still delivering the freshness and quality expected from early-harvest extra virgin olive oil.

Whether drizzled over salads, paired with artisan bread, finished over seafood, or used in everyday cooking, Arbosana brings a smooth, refined character to every dish.
