Arbequina
(21 kilo, Alberchino, Arbequi, Arbequin, Mendoza, Arbequina Catalana, Arlequin, Blanca,)
Arbequina are small, round olives native to the Spanish region of Catalonia, and the name comes from the city of Arbeca (formerly known as Arbequa), where, according to the legend, they were first introduced by the duke of Medinaceli in the 18th century.
Ripe arbequina olives have a firm, meaty texture and fruity flavor. They range from light pink to dark orange in color, and although they can be brined and served as table olives, they are usually harvested early and used in the production of olive oil that is characterized by a delicate, floral flavor.
Outside of Spain, arbequina olives are highly valued in the United States, where they are also grown.
