Favolosa Monovarietal

Chaloner's Favolosa is a single-cultivar release from Stellenbosch, where the producer grows olives in a small-batch, biodynamic operation. The product notes describe fresh green herbs and almonds, followed by a bold, robust profile with peppery notes and a nutty finish. Chaloner presents it as an oil for both cooking and finishing dishes, giving this Favolosa release a different role from the producer's delicate 1961 blend and its multi-cultivar Premium Blend.

Sensory Profile & Character

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 7

Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.

Bitterness 6

Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.

Pungency 7

Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.

Polyphenols 7

Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds found in olives and other plants. In olive oil, reported phenolic content is a chemistry measure that can be associated with bitterness, pungency and oxidative stability; total phenols are not interchangeable with hydroxytyrosol-plus-derivatives measurement used for the EU-authorised wording.
