Mission Monovarietal

This limited ichigo-ichie bottling is a single-date, single-variety extra virgin olive oil made from 100% Mission olives harvested and milled in Etajima, Hiroshima. It was produced from early-picked green fruit, filtered naturally through paper, and pressed within 9 hours of harvest.

It's described it as a dense green, highly stimulating oil with intense bitterness and pungency. Tasting notes mention fresh grassy aromas, matcha-like bitterness and a spicy finish, with suggested uses including grilled fish, meat dishes, citrus, and natto where the oil acts more like a finishing seasoning than a general cooking oil.

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 4

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

Bitterness 2

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

Pungency 2

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

Polyphenols 3

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.
