Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil offers a well‑balanced flavour with notes of tomato leaf, green almond and a subtle fresh‑cut grass undertone, finishing lightly peppery. It is made from a blend of Arbosana and Koroneiki olives harvested from two medium‑density groves in December and January, milled within two hours at 79°F after a 32‑minute malaxation. The oil earned a Silver Award at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition and is packaged in a matte white bottle with a wooden closure. Ideal for drizzling over green salads with bourbon‑cask balsamic vinegar or pairing with figs, goat cheese and strawberries.

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 4.9
Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.
Bitterness 4.7
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.
Pungency 4.5
Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.
Polyphenols 7.4
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.

Why choose it

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