Portuguese Single Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Introducing a multi-award winning single estate extra virgin olive oil from the Alto Alentejo wine region of Portugal. This is a peppery, early harvest oil, packed with polyphenols (779 mg/kg total). This oil is made by Ana Cardoso on her 10 hector plot in Fronteira, where she creates a field blend of primarily Galega olives. These are organically-farmed with regenerative practices including grazing animals. Here's what to expect, flavourwise... Nose: Fresh-cut grass, green banana, citrus, olive leaf & parsley herb. Palate: Green almonds, pine seeds, dried fruit. Sensation: Moderately bitter, with a medium pepperiness. It falls midway on the bitter scale of EVOOs. HOW TO USE IT: Gorgeous on fish. Perfect for drizzling on soups. Plays well with cheesy dishes. Very happy in a martini.
