Cuadrat Valley’s estate Elixir Despinyolada, “pitted” extra virgin olive oil is one of only a few pitted oils produced in the world.
Harvested early, the olives are pitted before undergoing production. Pitted olive oils preserve more aromas and flavors, which is particularly important with the delicate arbequina variety in order to create a dynamic profile.
Aromatically it is fresh yet complex and characterized by an array of green and fruity notes. Its flavors evolve and linger on the palate, finishing with a surprising punch of bitterness and spiciness.

Cuadrat Valley is a family-run olive oil estate in Les Garrigues, Catalonia, born from a story of resilience and return. Eighty years after the Spanish Civil War forced the Cuadrat family from their ancestral olive groves, granddaughter Evelyne and her family reclaimed the dream — building a 90-hectare sustainable grove and mill where they produce a premium extra virgin olive oil with the coveted Les Garrigues Protected Designation of Origin, the first PDO established for an Extra Virgin Olive Oil in Spain in 1975.
