An exceptional arbequino where the delicacy of the aromas of this variety blend with the strength and character of the southern lands. A medium fruity flavor of fresh olives, with green herbal 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 bitter aftertaste, and a more notable presence of spiciness. It is harmonious and has an almond aftertaste. The recommended use for Reserva Familiar is mainly raw, whether applied to cold, warm, or hot foods, such as salads, bread and oil, carpaccio, vegetables, steamed, grilled or baked fish or meat, but always afterwards, so that the raw oil in contact with hot food releases all its phenolic compounds (which cause the aroma), allowing us to enjoy the oil as another ingredient in the dish. To understand a little bit 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 ranging from 10% to 12% in oil, depending on each year's harvest.
