Panel test/organoleptic analysis:
Colour/aspect: Intense green colour, very clean. Filtered
Aroma/bouquet: Medium intensity, fresh grass aroma combined with notes of olive leaf and fig plant. Persistent and harmonic, the green sensations are easier to feel than the fruits which appear in less intensity.
Flavour/taste: Astringent with great character and personality, medium-high bitterness depending on the year, piquant taste also present and a bit less intense. The after taste reminds the leaves, grass and chlorophyll taste in general.
Recommendations of use: It fits well with salads, toasts, soups and sauces, gazpacho. It’s a premium olive oil, despite being of very high quality it can be cooked and fried with it thanks to the variety that contains a high value of oleic acid (77-80% of the total) and in polyphenols and antioxidants (550 -900 mg / kg). Given its high stability, it can be kept between 20-24 months in good conditions.
