The prestigious California Olive Oil Council awarded our Arbequina-Mission Reserve both its Best in Class and Gold Medal, describing it as 'the highest quality extra virgin olive oil, balanced and robust with green fruit notes"-- I also pick up notes of creamy cashew.  This blend of Spanish Arbequina, American Mission and French Picholine gives this EVOO its classic EVOO bite and peppery finish from its very high and healthful anti-inflammatory polyphenol count of 632.
