The agriculture sector of Valencia is best known for citrus, and typically only produces about 1% of Spain’s olive oil. Valencia does have a long history of olive production, with the area of Castellón known to have many millenial olive trees that still fruit and create excellent oil. Due to the proximity of sea and the height of the terrain inland, Valencia contains several unique microclimates ideal for olive production. One of the signature olive oil producers in Valencia is Masia el Altet, located in the Polop Valley between two protected nature reserves. In addition to typical Spanish varieties Picual and Arbequina, farmers in Valencia also grow local olive cultivars like Alfafarenca, Blanqueta, Changlot Real and Genovesa.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"masia-el-altet-high-quality","title":"Masia el Altet High Quality","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn olive oil unique to its production area in Valencia, this extra virgin olive oil is a special blend of 60% Picual, 20% Arbequina, and 20% Genovesa, Blanqueta and Alfafarenca, native to the area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aroma is fresh, elegant and balanced with pronounced notes freshly cut grass with fruity notes of green banana, prunes, and green almonds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts taste is sweet and dense, with a delightful balance of spiciness and bitterness with notes of citric fruit, green banana, artichoke and tomato.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 'High Quality' oil by Masia el Altet was also a favorite of French Chef Joël Robuchon, whose restaurants amassed 28 Michelin Stars over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Masia el Altet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40477147955362,"sku":"MSA-B-EE01","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/5791\/8626\/files\/GGL-MSA-High-Quality.jpg?v=1780592124"},{"product_id":"masia-el-altet-high-end","title":"Masia el Altet High End","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn oil crushed exclusively from Picual olives that can be described as nothing less than pure elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aromas are a true explosion of spring vegetables, tomato, artichoke and green almond with just a hint of peach, apricot and herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe taste is well-balanced, elegant and structured.
