Unmatched Quality and Heritage

The Gran Mendoza Extra Virgin Olive Oil is not just any olive oil; it is one of Laur's premier offerings, embodying the rich agricultural heritage of Argentina. Made exclusively from 100% Arauco olives, this oil Embodies the peak of Laur’s expertise and dedication to quality. The Arauco olive, often referred to as the 'Malbec of Oils,' is Argentina’s flagship varietal, renowned for its robust and distinctive characteristics.

This olive oil is a masterful blend of the finest Arauco olives sourced from three distinct estates: Cruz de Piedra, Altos Limpios, and Medrano, all nestled in the fertile region of Mendoza, Argentina. Each estate contributes its unique terroir, combining to create a symphony of flavors that is both complex and harmonious.

First/Cold Press Excellence

The production process of the Gran Mendoza Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a meticulous journey that ensures the highest quality at every step. The olives are harvested at their peak and immediately subjected to a first cold press on the estate. This method preserves the olives' natural flavors and nutritional integrity, resulting in an oil with less than 0.05% acidity. This low acidity level is a hallmark of superior quality, indicating the freshest and purest olive oil available.
