Sharply herbaceous and aromatic tones leap out of the bottle as soon as it is opened. This is followed by plenty of lemon and lime citrus notes with apple skins and a touch of fresh culinary herbs.Taste:
Sweet salad leaves with lightly toasted nuts are followed by a gentle bitterness and good pepper. More herbaceous tones with a touch of tomato arrive as the pepper fades to leave a pleasantly lingering aftertaste.Style:
A relatively delicate oil with a full-bodied aroma and well balanced bitterness and pepper.Overall Assessment:
This is an excellent oil with a lovely aroma. It is more delicate in the mouth than one might expect from the aroma but still has a really pleasant flavour. The combination offers a very versatile oil which can be used for all kinds of culinary applications as well as for finishing and dipping. It will appeal to all tastes.ESAO Awards 2022/23 Olive Japan 2022 SilverUK Great Taste Awards 2022 1-Star Olive Japan 2021 Silver New York International Olive Oil Competition 2016 Gold UK Great Taste Awards 2015 1-Star FLOS OLEI 2015 FLOS OLEI 2014.
