Premium is a definition of high-quality extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). But what is the secret behind its success? Well, it uses a rare olive varietie — Alfafarenca, already well-known for their huge benefits.
Premium has 100% of Alfafarenca Olives.
The key trademark of this product is an exceptionally strong flavor. It’s certainly powerful enough to improve the overall taste of just about any food. The most dominant flavor is tomato, but you can also feel the tastes of almond, banana, astringency, kiwi, apple, and fresh grass.
The whole mix tastes very sweet and spicy at the same time, and it’s perfect to use with virtually all types of vegetables. And not only that! It can also be used with cheese, meat, light fish, and pasta. Even chefs and bakers can benefit by using Premium to make exceptional desserts and pastries.
What makes Premium so great? Well, the secret lies in a smart combination of Alfafarenca variety.
Alfafarenca offers some very aromatic oils, as well as fruity, green, and bitter tones. Thanks to a combination of polyphenols and high amount of oleic acid, the oils have very strong antioxidant properties and they are very stable. This olive is pretty big, it has a dominant oval shape and a pointy end.
The tree itself is strong and durable, it has thick foliage and an open structure. A vast majority of Alfafarenca comes from Alfafara, which is a small locality in Alicante (l'Alcoià region). Some olive trees in this region are more than 700 years old, so one can say that Alfafarenca has quite a tradition here. The olive has adapted to all harsh weather conditions in this area, and as a result, it has some truly majestic attributes.
Even though Alfafarenca is not as popular as Blanqueta, its taste is just as superb nonetheless.
