On very specific days, at the beginning of the harvest season, during the month of October, it is made from green fruits to obtain its unique attributes. At least 20 kg of olives are needed to obtain 1 liter of product, as the olive is still in the green stage and its oil has not yet formed. So you can already imagine how exclusive this oil is.

Tasting note:
Its aroma is exclusive, unique, different. Of great complexity and multiple sensations. It bursts forth with an intense green fruity aroma, of apple and leaf, with a clarity that recalls the freshness of summer fruits. There are also notes of banana, alloza, flowers, vanilla, pepper, and cinnamon. And in the background, the evocation of an oak forest, the atmosphere of its origin.
The mouth is pure and clean, sweet at first and immediately enveloping with its warm bitterness, its liveliness, its measured spiciness.
And the finish, full of calm and persistent energy, with a memory of green leaf and olive, essence of nature. It comforts like an invocation to basic and eternal elements. Bread, fresh water, rosemary and rockrose, figs, and grapes. The stone, the trunk, the flower.
