Intensity: Medium Robust
Intensity correlates to the amount of bitterness and/or pungency experienced when consuming an extra virgin olive oil. An olive oil with little bitterness that creates little to no sensation in the back of the throat is considered mild. A very bitter olive oil that causes a slight burning or spicy sensation in the mouth and throat is robust. We rate intensity between 5 values: Mild, Medium, Medium Robust, Robust and Extreme.

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.
