Sensory Profile & Character

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 4.2

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

Bitterness 3

Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds, which have antioxidant properties.

Pungency 3.2

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

Polyphenols 7.2

Polyphenols are compounds found in plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables, herbs, tea, dark chocolate and EVOO. They act as antioxidants and protect you from cellular damage and decreases your risk of issues like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.

Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

Harvest timing helps you judge an oil's age, while filtration and release style affect how quickly it is best enjoyed.

Why choose it

Choose a recent, clearly dated release when you want the most vivid expression of its aromas and flavour.

Worth knowing

A harvest date does not reveal how the oil was stored, so date is an important signal rather than a guarantee of condition.

Product informationHarvested 1 October 2025

Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Elvas, Alentejo, Portugal.

Why choose it

Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.

Worth knowing

Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.

Listed originElvas, Alentejo, Portugal

Harvest & milling

How it was made

The olives are listed as being harvested manually.

Why choose it

These practices may appeal when you value hands-on harvesting, cooler fruit handling or direct estate control over milling.

Worth knowing

They describe production methods, not elapsed harvest-to-mill time or proof that the finished oil is fresher or better.

Product informationHand picked

Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Arbequina as its only recorded cultivar.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.

Worth knowing

One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.
