Herdade do Esporão Organic Olival dos Arrifes - Glass bottle 500 ml.

Organic extra virgin olive oil produced in the Alentejo region (Portugal) using olives of the Cobrançosa (80%) and Arbequina (20%) varieties.

The harvest begins in Octoberand continues throughout the month. This allows the olives to be picked at different stages of ripeness (green and veraison), resulting in an intense and elegant extra virgin olive oil.

The olives are received and sorted by variety at the Esporão mill just a few hours after harvesting, and are processed immediately. Extraction is carried out using the cold-press method at a maximum temperature of 24°C to preserve the properties and aromas of the varieties that characterise this extra virgin olive oil.

On the nose, it displays intense green fruitiness with marked herbaceous notes and aromas of freshly cut grass, artichoke and aromatic herbs, green tea, rocket and cabbage stalks. On the palate, it is complex, spicy, bitter and astringent, with a persistent aftertaste reminiscent of nuts, olive leaves and vegetables.

Food pairing: This extra virgin olive oil is ideal with steamed or grilled vegetables, fresh pasta and green leaf salads such as rocket or lamb’s lettuce.
