Origin:
Sourced from the fertile Dumrea region in central Albania, AR Gold Label is a masterful blend of olives—predominantly Koroneiki (80%), complemented by Leccino and Frantoio varieties. This carefully balanced blend combines robust, peppery, and mild buttery notes, producing a versatile olive oil of extraordinary depth and character.
The sun-drenched hills, rivers, and lakes of Dumrea, blessed with over 280 days of sunshine annually, create ideal conditions for olives that produce liquid gold—rich in flavor, nutrients, and history.
Harvesting & Production:
Olives are handpicked at peak ripeness and cold-pressed within 12 hours to preserve freshness, antioxidants, and natural flavors. The oil undergoes natural decantation to separate sediments and water, ensuring purity and clarity without chemical additives. Every drop reflects care, precision, and the heritage of Albanian olive cultivation.
