Nobleza del Sur – Flor de Abeja Arbequina
Arbequina uit de Sierra de Cazorla, groen geplukt in oktober en binnen vier uur koudgeperst. Zijdezacht van start met een verrassend peperige afdronk, de zeldzame combinatie van een milde olijf met een uitzonderlijk hoog antioxidantgehalte.

Polyfenolen: 500 mg/kg (supermarktolijfolie bevat doorgaans 50-150)
Zuurgraad: 0,1% (maximaal toegestaan voor EVOO: 0,8%)
Flor de Abeja Arbequina is an exception within its kind. Arbequina is known as the mildest Spanish olive, but this version from the Sierra de Cazorla combines that mildness with a polyphenol content of 500+ mg/kg, a level most Arbequina oils fall far short of.
The secret lies in the harvest timing and speed. The olives are picked while still green in October, at the point when their antioxidant content peaks, and go from tree to cold press within four hours. That explains both the very low acidity of 0.1% and the explosive aroma.
In the glass: intense notes of green apple, banana and freshly cut grass. The flavour starts silky and fruity but ends with a peppery tingle at the back of the throat. That tickle is no coincidence; it is direct proof of the high concentration of oleocanthal.
For those who want the health benefits of a high-polyphenol olive oil without the pronounced bitterness of a robust oil. From a producer with 99/100 in Flos Olei. Ideal over salads, fish, vegetables and fresh cheeses.

Producer
Producer
Nobleza del Surhas been producing olive oil in Andalusia since 1640, on fertile land near the Guadalimar River, which benefits from a unique continental Mediterranean microclimate. 12 generations later, the farm is run by Lola Sagra, who produces some of the most award-winning olive oils in the world every year. Lola’s obsession with quality begins in the groves, where she passionately believes that biodiversity and soil health are the foundation of a good harvest. Production is limited and the olive oil is always sold out.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best olive oil to buy?
The best olive oil to buy is an extra virgin olive oil from a single harvest, with a known harvest date and an independent lab result. Pay attention to polyphenol content, acidity (below 0.8%), and origin. At Olijfolie Markt, you will find only award-winning oils, directly from Italian producers — from delicate to robust.
What is polyphenol-rich olive oil and why is it healthy?
Polyphenol-rich olive oil is extra virgin olive oil with a high content of natural antioxidants (polyphenols). According to the EU, olive oil may officially be called "polyphenol-rich" from 250 mg/kg; supermarket olive oil typically contains only 50-150 mg/kg. Polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress. View our high intensity olive oils with 500+ mg/kg.
Is an olive oil shot every morning healthy?
A daily olive oil shot—one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil on an empty stomach—is a simple way to get polyphenols and healthy monounsaturated fats. For this, choose a polyphenol-rich, robust oil: the more peppery the finish, the more antioxidants. Our robust oils are most suitable for this.
How many polyphenols should good olive oil contain?
Good extra virgin olive oil contains at least 250 mg/kg of polyphenols — the EU threshold for the designation "rich in polyphenols". Premium oils reach 300–500 mg/kg, and exceptional harvests such as our Coratina exceed 700 mg/kg. In comparison, regular supermarket oil often only contains 50–150 mg/kg. You can find each lab result on our product pages.
Is extra virgin olive oil healthy?
Yes, extra virgin olive oil is among the healthiest fats available. It is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and polyphenols, which contribute to a healthy heart and healthy blood lipid levels. It is a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet. Important: choose unrefined, cold-pressed oil from a recent harvest — that way, the nutrients are maximally preserved.
Can you bake with extra virgin olive oil?
Yes, baking with extra virgin olive oil is perfectly fine. Its smoke point (around 190–210°C) is above normal baking and frying temperatures, and the polyphenols actually make the oil more stable when heated than many other vegetable oils. For daily cooking, a medium oil is ideal; save your robust top oil for cold applications.
What is the best Italian olive oil?
The best Italian olive oils come from small producers who press within hours of harvesting — from regions such as Puglia, Umbria, Abruzzo, and Sicily. Think of single-cultivar oils from Coratina or Ogliarola olives, awarded by guides like Bibenda and Flos Olei. Our range exclusively consists of these types of award-winning Italian oils.
