ORGANIC EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL:

The varieties and degree of maturity differentiate the oils.

ARTAJO only produces extra virgin olive oil. The varieties and the degree of ripeness are what differentiate the range of oils. Green olives offer very high fresh and fruity aromas, but a low yield and as they mature, the aromas soften and the fat yield increases. With this in mind, three ranges of extra virgin olive oil are produced, the Artajo 6, Artajo 8 and Artajo 10 range.
