Jorge Petit is certain that it takes an excellent olive oil to satisfy discerning palates - from olives that have been treated with love and care and are picked at the perfect moment of ripening. For Petit Sr. a key ‘ingredient’ is the passion shown by the Petit family in nurturing each and every one of the 14,000 olive trees on the Masía el Altet estate.
A special blend of 30% Changlot Real (a local variety), 30% Picual and 40% Genovesa, Alfafarenca and Blanqueta (all native varieties local to the mountains of Alicante).

You will also find the aromas of endive, chicory, rocket, tomato plant, tomato, unripe walnut husk and others of spontaneous secondary perception. And of course the aromatic herbs such as thyme and rosemary.
