EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
Highly perfumed liquid gold
Sharing a space with our oldest vineyard plantations are traditional olive trees of varieties native to La Rioja, over 200 years old, which marked the beginning of the oil production activity of Viña Ijalba.
2000
Until the year 2000, the olives obtained were transformed into extra virgin olive oil at an oil mill for personal consumption.
2001
From 2001, the oil produced in our olive groves began to be produced and packaged with its own brand, there being 15 hectares of olive trees cultivated to date.
VARIETIES PLANTED

This is a variety with a very good fat yield and very good oil quality.
