This variety is renowned for producing intense and powerful oils with a distinctive personality. The olives are harvested in mid-October and cold-pressed within two hours of harvest, preserving their organoleptic properties and nutrients. On the nose it presents high fruity intensity with green notes, combining hints of leaf and freshly cut grass. On the palate, it shows a balanced bitterness and pungency, with flavors of nuts, especially walnut, and vegetal notes, finishing with a persistent aftertaste. Ideal for consuming raw, enhancing bold dishes like Iberian meats, salmorejo, or grilled octopus. It is also perfect for dressing green salads and steamed vegetables, adding depth and complexity to preparations. ENJOY IT!

Ideal to combine with dairy, fresh fruit, and in the preparation of cakes and desserts. It is perfect to accompany a New York–style cheesecake.
