Esporão Olival dos Arrifes Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is crafted from organic Cobrançosa and Arbequina olives in Portugal's Alentejo region. Cold extraction at low temperatures preserves its fresh aroma of cut grass, artichoke, and aromatic herbs. The flavour is complex, spicy, bitter, and astringent with a finish of dried nuts. It pairs beautifully with fresh pasta, grilled vegetables, and green salads such as arugula.
