>> Olive Oils

Aceites Borges Pont, S.A. (Spain)

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.

Which oil?
There are more types of oil in Italy than there are whiskies in Scotland. Here, every oil has its staunch supporters. There are those who adore extra virgin olive oil, those who prefer seed oil, those who love the oil that comes from the South, from Tuscany or from the Italian Riviera. And they are all right. Oil is a question of being converted to a certain taste. At Harry' Bar we use soya seed oil for frying. But it must be changed every time it is used and never exceed 180°C. The olive oil that comes from the Italian Riviera is perfect for other kinds of cooking as it is the olive oil with the lightest taste A small company produces and chooses it for us. The olives are picked from the trees when they are perfectly ripe, they are carefully selected and then cold-pressed.
