Valdezarza Oils Recommended by Whom You Know



Valdezarza Extra Virgin Olive Oil : A symbol of quality, purity and expression… Proving the test of time, since 1960, Finca Valdezarza of Toledo Spain has been producing top quality single varietal & blended extra virgin olive oils produced from olives grown on the family estate located in the town of San Martín de Montalbán, 27 miles Southwest of Toledo. 


Whom You Know is pleased to present our first product recommendation from Spain!  We found this to be true quality in an ocean of olive oils on the market.  The smooth composition that had superior flavor combined with the finish made all varieties of this brand we tried winners.  Their commitment to quality is clear in the finished product.

In a land mass covering 3,700 acres, Finca Valdezarza grows Arbequina, Picual, Hojiblanca, and Cornicabra olive varietals. Following careful cultivation, every step of the growing and production process is controlled thus insuring the best finished product possible. Whole, ripe healthy olives are selected and crushed immediately, not allowing any time for deterioration of the olives nor the initiation of the fermentation process. These stringent practices combined with ideal growing conditions of abundant sunshine and rich, fertile soil yield bright, fresh, fruity oils with exquisite, distinct flavor profiles.
 
Whom You Know tested two single varietals : Arbequina and Picual
