Yagi Nouen Shodoshima 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Mission)

Price per litre

This extra virgin olive oil is made from Mission olives grown on Shodoshima island in Kagawa Prefecture, pressed and bottled by Yagi Nouen. It has a green, grassy aroma with fresh apple notes, and a rounded flavour where bitterness and pungency are softer than in early-harvest oils, with a gentle richness coming through. The producer suggests it works well with grilled fish, simmered dishes and other Japanese cooking, and even recommends pairing it with soy sauce.
