Tasting Notes

This extra virgin olive oil made entirely from the Arbequina cultivar is well-balanced with aromas of fresh green apples and a fruity flavor profile that boasts hints of artichoke and pepper. A medium-intensity oil.

How to Use

Séka Hills Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a great everyday, all-purpose olive oil. Use for sautéing, frying, or finishing. Ideal for vinaigrettes, pasta, mashed potatoes, or to finish grilled vegetables. Try using it to fry your eggs in the morning. Plus, this estate-made oil is a great dipping oil with Organic Sicilian Oregano from Gangi Dante or other spices
