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.
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 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.

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 2023
Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Aguilar, Andalusia, Spain.

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 originAguilar, Andalusia, Spain
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.
