PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

If you use quite a lot of extra virgin olive oil at home, our Alba 5 litre bottle is the right format for you. A well balanced and versatile extra virgin olive oil produced in Cordoba at an unbeatable price, so you will have the best value for money you can get when it comes to bigger formats. It is a deep golden oil, brimming with a fresh, sweet, fruity aroma. It is our family’s personal favourite and the best seller of all our olive oils. Think of Alba as you would a full bodied and delicious red wine. If you are tired of the usual brands you find on the supermarket shelf, look no further. You will start to wonder why you put up with inferior products before. The master taster at Aceites Alba, has drawn from the rich variety of olives available in the historic Priego de Cordoba region of Andalucia and blended fresh pressed juice from two types of olives. The oils he blends are Picudo, a fresh, fruity oil and Picual, a peppery, bold oil. The result is a warm and complex flavour profile, with the perfect balance of fruity, herbal and peppery accents, therefore avoiding the flavour limitations of a single fruit olive oil.

FOOD PAIRING

Alba is a wonderful way to begin savouring the many flavours of olive oil from Spain. Actually, we use Alba extra virgin olive oil for everything…from frying, to sauteeing, to making sauces such as ali oli. Most of all, it is great in crisp green salads or drizzling on crusty bread.
