From Our Estate to Your Table
Produced exclusively at our family-owned estate, Las Tejoneras, in the hills of Cádiz, this premium Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil reflects the character of Andalusia and the discipline behind every stage of production.
Our olives are harvested early, at their optimal moment of ripeness, to preserve freshness, intensity, and naturally high levels of polyphenols. Shortly after harvesting, they are transported directly to the mill and cold extracted within hours, helping protect the oil's delicate aromas, structure, and nutritional properties.
The result is a single-estate extra virgin olive oil with low acidity, remarkable balance, and a smooth yet expressive profile characteristic of the Arbequina variety.
Every batch is produced with meticulous attention to quality, from grove to bottle, ensuring an authentic olive oil that captures the essence of our land and our commitment to excellence.
The Role of Quality Olive Oil
Extra virgin olive oil combines flavour, versatility, and natural nutritional value in one essential ingredient.
Thanks to its polyphenols and monounsaturated fats, it enhances everyday cooking while adding balance and depth to simple dishes.
At Scandalusia, early harvest and cold extraction help preserve the olive’s freshness and natural character.

What does “early harvest” mean? +
Early harvest means the olives are picked before full ripeness. This helps preserve freshness, intensity, and naturally high levels of polyphenols, resulting in a more vibrant and structured extra virgin olive oil.
What are polyphenols? +
