>> Olive Oils

Family Reserve

The Borges "FAMILY RESERVE" oil is obtained exclusively from ARBEQUINA OLIVES, typical of and originating from the regions of Lleida and Tarragona. The arbequina olive is oval, short and almost symmetrical. It is extremely small and its weight varies between 0.8 and 1.20, with a much lower fat content (17.2 to 19.5%) than that of other varieties (which always exceed 20%.). It is therefore a very compact variety, whose pulp or flesh constitutes between 67% and 76% of its total volume.

The areas where it is grown (Les Garrigues and Baix Camp) produce very little, varying between 4.5 and 6 million kilos of oil per year. Family members and neighbours normally pick the olives traditionally, since, due to the ruggedness of the land, it is almost impossible to use machinery.
