This elegant oil is made from hand-picked, cold-pressed olives which come from the surrounding community just outside the village of Sarocca de Lerida, near Barcelona in Catalonia. The Arbequina olive is the core olive in this oil--the most widely found variety in Catalonia.

This high-quality extra virgin olive oil is infused wth the flavor of smoke created from the embers of the Mediterranean Stone Pine cones which are gathered in the local forest. The cold smoking process marries the delicate smoke without overpowering the quality of the Arbequina extra virgin olive oil.

The fruity flavor of the olive oil and the gently smokiness is the perfect finishing oil for grilled fish, barbequed meats, grilled vegetables and is a fragrant addition to potatoes, eggs and salads.

For Generations, the name Vea has stood for the highest standards of quality in the cultivation of olives and the pressing of extra-virgin olive oils. Senor Avelino Vea, who now runs the family business, has maintained and elevated those standards by introducing the latest production techniques. He has also deliberately preserved the traditional methods of cultivation and blending, as well as the integrity of the oils that bear the Vea family name. As a result, Vea has earned recognition among the world's most discerning chefs and restaurateurs who value the oil for its fine and subtle flavor & consistency.
