JANIROC, PONS' fifth-generation oils
JANIROC is PONS' collection of organic extra virgin olive oil from its own estate, produced entirely in L'Albagés, Les Garrigues (Lleida). Its name pays tribute to Jan and Roc, the fifth generation of the Pons family. All JANIROC oils are early harvest, cold-extracted in our mill located next to the olive grove, and exceed the 250 mg/kg polyphenol threshold set by Regulation (EU) 432/2012, which allows for the inclusion of the authorized EFSA health claim regarding the protection of blood lipids from oxidative damage.
The collection brings together three single-varietal estate oils. The Arbequina, with green fruitiness, floral and delicate with an almond finish, exceeds 325 mg/kg of polyphenols. The Lecciana, our future varietal bet, herbaceous with spicy notes, exceeds 350 mg/kg. The Koroneiki, with great aromatic complexity and Mediterranean character, exceeds 450 mg/kg.
They are complemented by two blends. The Jardín Varietal(Varietal Garden), a limited edition made with olives from the more than 300 varieties planted since 2003 in our Varietal Garden in L'Albagés, with more than 400 mg/kg of polyphenols. And JANIROC AKL, an exclusive blend of Arbequina, Koroneiki, and Lecciana: Arbequina contributes smoothness and elegance; Koroneiki, character and structure; and Lecciana, density and cohesion.
We cultivate, harvest, and mill on the same estate. The olives enter the mill in less than 30 minutes after harvesting and are cold-extracted, preserving aromas and polyphenols to the maximum. The entire collection comes from certified organic farming.
