Olives in Brine, 220 gr.

The Arbequina is a variety of olive tree, originally from the town of Arbeca.

Its name comes from the town of Arbeca in the region of Les Garrigues (Lleida). According to legend, the Duke of Medinaceli, who lived in the castle-palace of Arbeca, brought it from Palestine in the 17th century. The promise of a billion rials for each olive tree planted (which was ultimately not fulfilled) encouraged its cultivation throughout the region. Although there were already records of olive trees of this same class throughout the district. This variety is considered one of the best in the world, both for its production and regularity and for the quality of the oil.
