AmVegan Oil: an oil with a Mediterranean flavour
In his constant quest to offer products of the highest quality, Chef Fran López has developed together with us AmVegan Oil , an extra virgin olive oil that reflects the character and essence of the Mediterranean.
This EVOO comes from olive trees grown on the shores of the Mediterranean, a privileged place that provides a perfect climate for the growth and ripening of olives. In this natural environment, the olive trees are surrounded by a wide variety of aromatic flowers such as thyme, oregano, tarragon, rosemary and orange trees, which contribute to the sophisticated combination of secondary aromas that characterise this oil.
AmVegan Oil is produced under strict quality standards. The olives are cold-pressed on the same day of harvesting to preserve all the natural flavours and aromas. This single-pressing process guarantees a pure and genuine product, without additives or preservatives.
A complex flavor
AmVegan Oil extra virgin olive oil is distinguished by its balance between sweet and spicy, with bitter notes that add depth to the flavour. The exquisite hints of almond, walnut and artichoke make it perfect for enhancing the flavour of fish, vegetables and salads, making it an indispensable ally in the kitchen.
100% Arbequina variety, it is presented in 0.25 litre bottles, which guarantees its freshness and quality. In addition, because it is a home-grown product, it offers an unprecedented gastronomic experience, where every drop is unique.
