500 ml can. An exceptional arbequino where the delicacy of the aromas characteristic of this variety blends with the strength and character of the southern lands. It has a medium fruity flavor of fresh olives, with green herb and green wheat aromas interspersed among the characteristic fruity notes of arbequino; almond, apple, and ripe banana stand out. Its taste is progressive, with a smooth and delicate entry, a very light bitterness afterwards, and a more notable presence of spiciness. It is harmonious and has an almond aftertaste. The recommended use for Reserva Familiar is primarily raw, whether applied to cold, warm, or hot foods, such as salads, bread and oil, carpaccio, vegetables, fish, or steamed, grilled, or baked meats, but always afterwards, so that the raw oil in contact with hot foods can release all its phenolic compounds (which cause the aroma), and allow us to enjoy the oil as another ingredient in the dish. To understand a little bit of the effort used to obtain a liter of Oro Bailen Reserva Familiar, between 8 and 10 kg of olives are needed, in percentage terms; with yields between 10% and 12% in oil, depending on the harvest each year.
