Pons: Organic Arbequina (500 ml)

This Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Organic Farming by PONS is obtained exclusively from the finest Arbequina olives, specially selected from the Pons family estate in Spain. Cultivated in a natural and sustainable environment, this oil reflects the Pons family’s commitment to quality and respect for the environment.

The olive trees thrive on terraces at an altitude of 500 meters, in calcareous soils and under a continental climate, which contributes to the creation of a unique, balanced, and aromatic olive oil.

The olives are carefully hand-picked at their optimal ripeness, between November and January, to ensure maximum flavor and freshness. They are then cold-processed in the family’s traditional stone mill, preserving their natural nutrients and purity. With a low acidity of just 0.25%, this oil stands out for its exceptional quality and delicacy.

How to Use it in the Kitchen

This oil is perfect for enhancing the cuisine of the United Arab Emirates, adding a special touch to traditional dishes. It can be used in Harees, a slow-cooked wheat and meat dish, adding smoothness and depth of flavor. It also enhances Machbous, a spiced rice dish with meat or fish, balancing its intense aromas. For lighter dishes, a few drops over Balaleet, sweet vermicelli with eggs, provide a delightful contrast. Even in desserts like Luqaimat, small fried dough balls, this oil can replace other fats for a lighter texture.

In Spanish cuisine, this olive oil is essential for classic recipes. It can be enjoyed in a simple yet delicious pan con tomate, where its fruity flavor enhances the freshness of the tomato on crispy bread. It is a key ingredient in gazpacho, a refreshing cold tomato and vegetable soup. It can also be used to prepare an authentic Spanish omelet (tortilla española), ensuring a soft texture and balanced flavor. For grilled fish, a few drops of this oil at the end of cooking enhance its natural taste.

On an International level, this oil is perfect for fresh salads, pairing beautifully with ingredients like avocado, feta cheese, and nuts. In Italian cuisine, it is ideal for pasta dishes such as aglio e olio or simply with Parmesan cheese. Its smoothness and purity make it perfect for dips like hummus, providing a silkier texture and an authentic touch. It is also excellent for toast and bruschettas, elevating the flavor of ingredients such as tomatoes, avocado, or mozzarella.
