Eder Merino is the man behind one of our SINGULARES 2022: ARRONIZ.

Some time ago, this history professor decided to return to the countryside to run the family estate, including a few hectares of olive trees in Bargota (Navarre).

Eder produces unfiltered oils, as it’s traditional in the area, bottled after approximately two months of natural and careful decanting in tanks. The Ebro valley, where these olive groves are, is an oasis of sorts, 400 metres above sea level and with chalky clay soil. An area with the most extreme continental climate with a mild Mediterranean climate mix, which yields an oil with a unique character.
