EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OILS & VINEGAR From Spain

Terroir is a word used when referring to agricultural produce, especially wine and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It refers to a site with soil and micro-climate characteristics that differentiate it from others, from which wines and oils are obtained with singular features and qualities. Its area is limited to maintain the high quality of its products.

Terroir is not just the land but the people who cultivate the land, care for the plants, bring in the harvest and process it. Terroir is full expression of the place from which it came.
