This November 2023 harvest of The Gay Farmer's Arbequina Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil delivers a delicate to medium-bodied profile, cold-pressed from 100% organic Arbequina olives. Harvested in Zaragoza and pressed within hours, this 500 mL bottle showcases the true character of Spanish organic olive cultivation with complex aromas of pears, sweet stone fruits, and herbal notes.

The oil offers remarkable utility with its balanced profile; gentle bitterness gives way to a fiery pepper finish that softens into sweet fruits and light caramel fudge notes. Perfect for drizzling, dipping, cooking, baking and creating desserts, this all-rounder brings authentic Spanish character to both savoury and sweet dishes.

The Gay Farmer's Arbequina is for food lovers who appreciate quality organic produce with a storey and won't compromise on flavour or environmental values.

Why It Stands Out

  • Single Variety Organic: 100% Arbequina olives grown with biodiversity in mind.
  • Balanced Complexity: Fruit-forward with perfect pepper-to-bitterness ratio.
  • Kitchen Staple: Excels in both sweet and savoury applications.
  • Environmentally Conscious: Produced using sustainable farming practises.
  • Award-Winning Quality: From one of Spain's finest organic producers.

Tasting Notes

Expect aromas of pears and stone fruits with culinary herbs and citrus tones, followed by gentle bitterness that gives way to fiery pepper, finishing with lingering notes of sweet fruits and light caramel fudge.

About The Producer

The Gay Farmer began in 2008 when Mark harvested olives from his mother's farm in Murcia, Spain. Now a qualified Olive Oil Sommelier, Mark partners with historic family-run organic mills that prioritise biodiversity, creating exceptional oils while preserving nearly 200 species of flora and fauna in their olive forests.

Incredible fish!

Would thoroughly recommend

The best tinned fish money can buy!

Gill-ty as charged. These tinned fish are incredible. I have my eye on their new olive oil and very keen to try next!

Chin chin!

Lovely - perfect for this time of the year!

Good exp.

Good quality

Great tasting oil, very well packaged

Beautiful box that drew my attention on a shelf of a Michelin guide restaurant. Ordered from Nourished Communities, good price, good packaging, timely delivery and tactful after sales handling.

Soooo good

Love this olive oil, very nice peppery taste.

Best price on the market for this quality

I've been searching for good quality olive oil high in polyphenols and this is the best I could find!

Great service, fantastic product

Amazing customer service and follow up! Quick efficient and speedy friendly service.
Great product!

Lovely, helpful and personal company selling fantastic products

We have just started buying Honest Toil Olive Oil and Nourished Communities had the best prices we could find, which is what initially attracted us. The oil is fantastic, but an added bonus are the personal touches that come with supporting a small business. Rory gave me a call to touch in after our delivery and to make sure that everything was fine. My one bit of constructive feedback would be that it would be really useful to have a Paypal or Klarna option on the website (allowing buyers to split the cost of a larger purchase). However, I understand that for a small or medium sized business there might be costs involved with this and perhaps it's just not feasible in terms of the money they would lose.

Unbelievable oil

Ive bought this pil before, absolutely amazing. I struggle with anything else if caught short. So I try to make sure I never am.

Great box

Great box of veg, good quality every week and staff are always so friendly and helpful

Swift service, great quality

Despatched very quickly, arrived on time, value for money and quality.

Great

Very quick . Well packed . Fantastic oil olive . This is our delivery.
Thanks x

My favourite nourished communities product

I get it almost every online order because it's just so versatile and tasty. You know it's much fresher than other store bought tofu because of its clean taste and also because it expires rapidly. You know they haven't done anything in the process to make it last longer but potentially take away from the product as well.

Lovely olive oil at great price

Great olive oil at a great price!

Good leaves, but would be great to get some more spring veg

Great quality leaves. Hoping the root veg cycles out. Asparagus soon please!

Thanks for the review and for the valuable feedback! I've shared this with our veg box manager :)

It does take a bit of time for a good selection of new season veg to come through - the hungry gap runs March to May - but the end is in sight!

Thanks,
The NoCo team

excellent bresaola

This is lovely. Cured perfectly. Deeply flavourful.

Good oil, good price

Nothing more to add. Well delivered , pretty can!

Great selection and all organic

I love my weekly veg box. It’s usually all British grown, organic and inspired you to eat with the seasons

Loved it and quick delivery!

Bought this for a friend and they loved it! They finished it the day it arrived 😀
