Arbequina Olive Oil Available in the US?

[Chris Amirault]

We just knocked off a bottle of arbequina olive oil we got in Barcelona and our tomatoes are crying out for another. Any particular bottles to seek out? If they're widely distributed in the US, all the better.

i'm pretty sure the aguibal oils are pretty widely distributed. they produce arbequina, picual, and manzanilla varietal oils.

This 100% arbequina? Looks intriguing. And thanks, mrbigjas.

Here is a link to a Dauro merchant with a photo. Their most widely available olive oil is not 100% arbequina. It also has hojiblanca and koroneiki olives in the mix. It is 100% Catalan from Girona though. I've been to their olive groves and production facilities. The roves are beautiful and the facilities top notch. It is made by the same family that makes Roda wines in the Rioja. I have bought it in the past at Fairway in NYC.

The Spanish food importer, La Tienda, has a couple of options for you. We like the one labled as "by Can Solivera." http://www.tienda.com/food/olive_oil.html

I've been using Lerida for some time now. It's in my price range, and it's good for those times I don't want an in-your-face peppery aftertaste.

For some years now I've been using the Arbequina olive oil from Oliva Verde USA (buying it in cases, and slowly going through my 15 liters each time).

Oliva Verde USA doesn't seem to exist anymore, and I'm running out.

So now I'm soliciting recommendations for similar olive oils, especially if I can get them in the nice 5 liter cans.
