Grown without pesticides, the fruit is hand picked early in the season and immediately cold-pressed to retain its deep fruity flavors and the fresh and spicy aromas. Four classic olive varietals are used to produce this perfectly balanced oil: Madural, Cobranosa, Cordovil, Verdeal. The golden-green oil is exceptionally fragrant with grassy notes, with a spicy taste and a pleasantly peppery finish.
