Rheos Premium Blend is an extra virgin olive oil from five select varieties-Leccino, Pendolino, Frantoio, Buža, and Istarska Bjelica-cultivated in the saline-rich microclimate of Kamponovo near Novigrad, Croatia. Cold-pressed for quality, it features an intensely green colour and refined aromas of fresh cut grass, green apple, artichoke, almond, and aromatic herbs. The taste is rich and complex, with pleasant bitterness and a peppery sensation. It pairs excellently with bitter vegetables like chicory and radicchio, meats, fish, seafood, cheeses, and bitter chocolate desserts.

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 4.2
Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.
Bitterness 2.9
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.
Pungency 3
Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.
Polyphenols 4.7
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.
