Arbequina November 2023 Harvest
Aroma:
Attractive and complex aroma of pears and sweet stone fruits with culinary herbs,
light nuts and lemon citrus tones.
Taste:
Similar flavours remain in the mouth with some meadowsweet hay and dried herbs.
Gentle bitterness gives way to a burst of quite fiery pepper which softens and lingers into a pleasant after taste of sweet fruits and light caramel fudge.
Style:
This is a delicate to medium style of oil with some well-balanced pepper and very little
bitterness.
Assessment:
This pleasing all-round oil should appeal to all but those who prefer a very robust oil. It
offers a versatile cooking and flavouring ingredient in the kitchen and at the table. Use in
baking and desserts as well as in savoury dishes.
Early Harvest Picual 2023
Aroma:
An intense and complex aroma of well flavoured salad leaves leaps out from the
bottle along with a touch of sorrel, tomatoes-on-the-vine and light citrus tones with flowery lemon and lime.
Taste:
The flavours in the mouth do not disappoint as they develop with the addition of
mustard leaves, peppery watercress and a growing presence of really attractive tomato coulis. Bitterness and pepper come in to add to the complexity and all linger into the long fruity after
taste.
Style:
This is a medium to robust oil with extremely well balanced fruit, bitterness and
pepper.
Assessment:
This is an excellent oil with an appealing aroma and characterful taste. It can be
successfully combined with a wide range of other ingredients, used to make dips and to add an extra dimension to everything from soups and salads to stews, casseroles and pasta dishes.
