Mainova's Classic Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Portugal's Alentejo region is a blend of Cobrançosa, Cordovil, Arbequina, and Frantoio olives, offering a smooth flavour with notes of olive leaves and green almond and a low acidity of 0.2%. Produced using integrated methods on schist and granite soils, with olives semi-manually harvested at optimal maturity. The Bag-in-Tube packaging protects against light and oxygen, maintaining freshness and reducing plastic use by 60%. Ideal for dressing salads, cooking, or enhancing Mediterranean dishes, it is a versatile choice.

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 4.3
Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.
Bitterness 3.1
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.
Pungency 3.4
Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.
Polyphenols 7.1
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.
