TASTING NOTES

 


Our Portuguese Arbequina displays a sweet fruity nose with notes of banana, a creamy almond center and hints of nutmeg on the finish. Well balanced with pleasing, lingering pepperiness. 

 

 

Our partner producer (SAOV) in Portugal is using a high vacuum during malaxation to remove all the oxygen in this processing stage where the oil spends the most time and is most prone to oxidation. This cutting edge and very technical method preserves the phenolic content, the overall chemistry plus the flavor characteristics while reducing other oxidation markers.
