El Olivar

El Olivar S.A. is a Spanish company specializing in the production and distribution of olive oils, including pomace olive oil, which is derived from the remains of olive pulp after the extraction of extra virgin olive oil. Pomace olive oil is produced through a refining process that involves chemical treatments and solvent extraction, resulting in a lighter flavor and higher smoke point compared to extra virgin olive oil. It is commonly used for deep frying and other high-heat cooking methods. While it retains some beneficial compounds, it has a lower nutritional profile than extra virgin olive oil. El Olivar S.A. markets its pomace olive oil as a cost-effective alternative for culinary applications requiring high-temperature cooking.
