Green Olive Extra Virgin Oil
Our olive grove, located in the valley of the Tabernas desert, in Almería, has a unique microclimate. Indeed, it is located next to the Mediterranean coast and has the greatest number of hours of sunshine per year in Europe. This allows us to obtain superior olives, and, cold-pressed, they produce an extra virgin olive oil that is unique in the world.
Taste and Aromas
Spicy and bitter with an excellent and pleasant balance, and a characteristic fruity of the environment. In addition, its early harvesting allows us to enjoy a long fruity aftertaste that makes all its qualities and freshness pleasant. Thus, it shows its personality on the nose with fruity olives of medium maturity, notes of freshly cut grass and banana.
