Elixir BIO Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil | Cuadrat Valley

Overview

Cuadrat Valley Elixir BIO Early Harvest is an award-winning organic extra virgin olive oil crafted in L’Albagés (Lleida) under the prestigious Les Garrigues Designation of Origin. Produced exclusively from Arbequina olives harvested early—while still green—this oil is a true gastronomic elixir. With notes of fresh grass, green almond, mint, and artichoke, it delivers freshness, elegance, and depth in every drop.

Why You Should Buy

This Elixir is the pinnacle of Spanish olive oil craftsmanship. By requiring 11–12 kg of olives per liter, Cuadrat Valley ensures unparalleled aromatic concentration. The pitting technique improves nutritional quality, antioxidant content, and shelf stability. Whether you seek an EVOO for gourmet cooking, longevity benefits, or a luxurious gift, this oil redefines what organic olive oil should be.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Fresh grass, green leaf, artichoke, mint, and green almond.

• Palate: Smooth and dense with medium bitterness and spiciness, balanced by a clean, fresh finish.

• Pairings: Fresh salads, grilled vegetables, risottos, poultry, blue fish, and artisanal cheeses (enhancing soft cheeses while softening blues).

Conservation Guide

To enjoy its maximum freshness and polyphenol richness, Cuadrat Valley recommends:

• Darkness: Store away from light, especially direct sunlight, which degrades chlorophyll and antioxidants.

• Temperature: Keep between 16°C and 20°C. Avoid extreme heat (kitchens, ovens).

• Closed container: Seal tightly after each use—oxygen is a natural enemy.

• Best enjoyed: Within the harvest year to fully appreciate its aromatic intensity.

• For Healthy Living: Rich in polyphenols and monounsaturated fats that support heart health and longevity.

• For Wine Lovers: A bottle crafted with the same care as fine vintages, meant to be savored.

The Story of Cuadrat Valley

The legacy of Cuadrat Valley is a story of roots, resilience, and revival. In the 1930s, Sebastià Cuadrat Realp was forced to abandon his family’s olive groves in L’Albagés during the war. Eight decades later, his granddaughter Evelyne Cuadrat Teycheney, her husband Patrick, and their daughter Caroline returned to reclaim the family dream.

Since 2014, the Cuadrat family has cultivated 90 hectares of olive groves under sustainable and organic farming principles. Inspired by precision viticulture and Grand Cru winemaking in Bordeaux, they apply the same level of detail to olive oil, producing an EVOO that stands alongside the finest wines.

The result is not only an olive oil, but a tribute to heritage, terroir, and excellence—a luxury product born from passion and respect for the land. Learn more here.
