Tasting Notes
A new outstanding monovarietal oil extra virgin olive oil crushed from 100% Hojiblanca olives grown on the estate of award-winning producer, Oro Bailén. The Gálvez González family spent a great deal of time and care meticulously perfecting the quality of their Hojiblanca olive oil to match that of their world-class Picual olive oil. This brand new oil from Oro Bailén is sure to impress those already familiar with the unbeatable quality the company delivers year after year. This medium-robust fruity oil begins with notes of apple and green banana alongside aromatic vegetal tones of artichoke, tomato, and hints of wild plants like fennel, peppermint and blackberry. The ripe fruit flavors persist on the palate as the oil enters with a sweet taste, then finds elegant balance with slight bitterness and progressive spiciness that lasts to the finish. The oil is excellent for bread dipping, paired with fresh fruit and vegetables, and finishing fish courses and roasted white meat.
