INTENSE FRUIT AND EXCEPTIONAL FRESHNESS: On the nose, this oil stands out for its very young and vibrant fruity, with an explosion of aromas that evoke the freshness of olive groves in their first harvest. It unfolds a balanced combination of freshly cut green grass, tomato, green apple and banana peel, with subtle hints of raw almond. Its aromatic intensity transports you to the exact moment of harvesting, offering you a direct connection with the land and the tradition of the olive grove. BALANCED AND PERSISTENT FLAVOR: On the palate it shows a vibrant, expressive, persistent in the mouth and velvety. Its entrance is soft and enveloping. Intense herbaceous notes with shades of tendrils and mauves are perceived, which evolve into a progressive and elegant spiciness in the throat, transforming into a spicy aftertaste of fresh pepper. A slight bitterness and a discreet astringency, reminiscent of the nettle, complete its structure bringing a long and harmonious finish. PERFECT PAIRING: Its balance and sensory richness make it ideal for fresh salads with crispy vegetables, enhancing every ingredient. Enhance the flavor of gazpachos, salmorejos and cold soups with a fresh and intense touch. It perfectly accompanies Iberian ham and cured cheeses, creating delicious contrasts. It is also excellent for grilled meats and baked fish, providing depth and herbaceous notes. In toast with tomato, its intensity makes it irresistible.
