The extra virgin olive oil Santa Creu (Holy Cross in Catalan) pays homage to the 11th century Roman hermitage of Santa Creu de Creixà, located in the municipality of Piera. Around the hermitage there are centuries-old olive trees from which the olives come to produce exclusively this excellent extra virgin olive oil.
It is a region marked by Mediterranean influence, with dry, hot summers and cold, wet winters. The soil where the olive trees of this magnificent extra virgin olive oil grow is clayey-silty and poor in organic matter.
In this unique space, there are also hectares of forest rich in fauna and flora and a large number of vineyards cultivated organically. The harvest of the oil of the Santa Creu farm is done by hand. A unique and exclusive jewel.
This unique and privileged environment, together with the technicality of extraction, combine to create a complex extra virgin olive oil, bringing out very diverse aromas and a very pleasant and balanced final note.
Santa Creu
A very low acidity EVOO, balanced and complex. Fruity green olive, where we find a very harmonized spiciness and bitterness. The aftertaste increases the intensity of the fruitiness, thus improving its freshness. Exceptional aromas of apple, banana, tomato and artichoke.
The entry in the mouth is sweet and fruity.
An EVOO that offers a particular harmony between spiciness and astringency, with a predominance of the sweetness characteristic of the oils of the Arbequina variety.
