Where does the Olive Oil come from?
Bistro Blends buys our oil from Lerida, Spain. It is cold-pressed 100% extra virgin olive oil from the Arbequina Olives. It is a wonderfully fruity and full-flavored oil. We tried to purchase from California vendors, but the prices were outrageous. So, we went to the largest producer of olive oil in the world-Spain. They produce 215 million gallons annually. It takes 42 to 65 pounds of olives to make one gallon of extra-virgin olive oil.
