AOVE Hojiblanca · jug 2,5 L

Extra virgin from Hojiblanca, the variety that gives the most herbaceous oils. Picked while the flesh is still green inside: a few days too many and the aroma that defines it is gone. Same route as the rest: milled on picking day, cold malaxation below 27 °C and two-phase separation, with no added water. It smells of freshly cut grass, artichoke and almond. Soft on entry, finishing with a clean tickle at the back of the throat — the mark of a young, well-made oil. For grilled vegetables, pulses and carpaccio.
