An exceptional arbequino where the delicacy of the aromas typical of this variety mixes with the strength and character of the southern lands. It has a medium fruity profile of fresh olives, with green aromas of herbs and green wheat interspersed with the characteristic fruity notes of the arbequino; almond, apple, and ripe banana stand out. Its taste is progressive, with a soft and delicate entry, a very light bitterness, and the presence of spiciness. It is harmonious with an almond aftertaste. We recommend using Reserva Familiar primarily raw, whether applied to cold, warm, or hot foods, such as salads, bread and oil, carpaccios, vegetables, steamed, grilled, or baked fish or meat, but always afterwards, so that the raw oil comes into contact with the hot food and releases all its phenolic compounds (which cause the aroma), allowing us to enjoy the oil as an ingredient in the dish. To understand a little 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.
