Nose: Fresh-cut grass, green banana, citrus, olive leaf & parsley herb.
Palate: Green almonds, pine seeds, dried fruit.
Sensation: Moderately bitter, with a medium pepperiness. It falls midway on the bitter scale of EVOOs.
Pairs with...
Anything cheesy. This oil is gorgeous on fish. It's also perfect for drizzling over soups.
Ana (the producer) recommends it over a tomato soup (like sopa de tomate Alentejana) or spaghetti alle vongole since it's great with seafood and pasta! It also does well in a martini.
