This early harvest green oil is distinguished by its character and high intensity of fruitiness. On the nose, it displays a variety of nuances reminiscent of leaves, tomatoes, green apples and artichokes. On the palate, it offers an intense but balanced experience, with a prominent, yet balanced bitterness and spiciness, and a fresh and vibrant entrance. Given its intensity, this oil is ideal for consuming cold, being a perfect dressing for salads, gazpachos and carpaccios. Its bitterness and spiciness are typical of the oil and not of other types of food such as chillies or peppers. These characteristics are correctly appreciated when the oil is tasted without any other food to accompany it. This is how oil professionals taste this product to assess its qualities and determine that it is extra virgin oil.
