Fontfleurie Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500ml

Why this olive oil is special

Fontfleurie is an Extra Virgin olive oil made from 100% Arbequina from Catalonia and a beautiful demonstration of just how refined a mild olive oil can be. While powerful Spanish oils impress with bitterness and pepperiness, Fontfleurie deliberately focuses on elegance, fruitiness and natural softness.

In our Olive Oil Guide, the oil scores 6 for fruitiness, only 1 for bitterness and 2 for pepperiness, while its complexity remains remarkably high at 7. This makes Fontfleurie especially appealing to anyone looking for a gentle olive oil without sacrificing aroma or quality. Its soft structure also makes it remarkably versatile, from salads and fish to pasta, vegetables and simply good bread.

Fontfleurie is produced by Cuadrat Valley in L’Albagés, in the Catalan region of Les Garrigues. The oil carries the protected DOP Les Garrigues designation of origin, an area closely associated with the Arbequina olive. Cuadrat Valley combines this regional tradition with a thoroughly modern approach. The oil is cold-extracted in an advanced mill, with particular attention paid to speed, temperature and preserving the delicate aromas of Arbequina.

Behind Fontfleurie’s accessible price is a producer with remarkably high ambitions. Cuadrat Valley operates an ultramodern olive mill in L’Albagés and invests heavily in modern production techniques designed to preserve the delicate characteristics of Arbequina as effectively as possible.

In recent years, the estate has firmly established itself among Catalonia’s quality olive oil producers. Fontfleurie demonstrates beautifully that a soft and approachable Arbequina does not have to be simple. Here, an attractive price, modern technology, protected origin and genuine finesse come together surprisingly well.
