EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

GALEGA - Robust (Portugal)

Country of Origin: Portugal

Crush Date: October 2024

This consistent award winner displays hints of green almond, fresh cut grass and savoury herb with artichoke and a lingering floral finish.

Our partner producer (SAOV) in Portugal is using a high vacuum during malaxation to remove all of the oxygen in this processing stage where the oil spends the most time and is most prone to oxidation. This cutting edge and very technical method preserves the phenolic content, the overall chemistry plus the flavour characteristics while reducing other oxidation markers.
