Which olive oil should I choose?

 If you’ve found us, it’s because you’re looking for something special. You love olive oil, you enjoy trying gourmet products, maybe you’ve heard about the excellent health benefits of olive oil, you’ve come across the most beautiful packaging ever created for an olive oil, or perhaps you simply need a special gift for someone you care about, or even for yourself.

Whatever the reason, WELCOME!

But of course, there are more than 500 varieties of olives in the world (some say more than 900). So, which one do you choose?

You’re probably familiar with some of the most famous ones, like Arbequina, Picual, Koroneiki, or Frantoio.

But maybe others like Canetera, Alfafarenca, Chanclot Real, Borriolenca, Serrana, Blanqueta, Hojiblanca, or Cornicabra don’t sound as familiar.

And we’d dare to say that you’ve probably never heard of the FARGA variety. Well, that’s the variety of our ANCIENT OLIVE TREES. Yes, on the eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula, along the Mediterranean, in the Maestrat/Senia region, lies the Valley of the Ancient Olive Trees. The largest concentration of olive trees over 1,000 years old in the world. And there, in the heart of this valley, EL POAIG was born.

Now you’re lost and don’t know how to proceed. Let us help you find your oil:

.- If you are passionate about history and you’re looking for an oil with a strong character, an intense flavor, and delicate aromas of Mediterranean herbs, your oil is EL MIL DEL POAIG, THE MOST EXCLUSIVE OIL IN THE WORLD. Sourced from millenary olive trees between 1,000 and 2,800 years old, certified and used by top chefs around the world like Quique Dacosta (3 Michelin stars).

Let us tell you something: if you dare to experiment with desserts, this oil and its delicate citrus notes will pair perfectly with any chocolate.

.- If you enjoy a bold, “dense” oil with aromas of field herbs, artichokes, tomatoes, and spicy notes, your oil is EL VERD DEL POAIG. A blend crafted by Manuel Arnau from four varieties, the most familiar to you being PICUAL, complemented this season by BORRIOLENCA, CANETERA, and CHANCLOT REAL. (If you know these, bravo! You’re a true gourmet!)

.- If you love pouring oil over bread, salads, fish, in short, if you can’t live without olive oil, and you care about health, ensuring that your loved ones enjoy great flavor while being nourished from within, then your oil is CARMEN DEL POAIG, made from the ARBEQUINA, ALFAFARENCA, and HOJIBLANCA varieties. This is our tribute to Carmen Beltrán, who passed on the care of these ancient olive trees to us. You’ll also have a great story to tell at the table.

.- But let us tell you something more. Pleasure, health, taste, beauty, history, sustainability, tradition, the Mediterranean, our way of life— you’ll find all this and more in each bottle of EL POAIG. We can’t help it, we’re Mediterranean, and we love our olive trees.

Choose whichever oil you like, or all three. Talk, enjoy, share, take care, love, cherish, and always, always do it with a good olive oil on your table. Your body, your soul, and your loved ones will thank you forever.
