Extra virgin arbequina olive oil from Torre de Canena. 5L container. Produced in Canena Jaén.

In order to obtain the EVOOs from Torre de Canena, the best plots of the estate are selected. After continuous monitoring of the vegetative and phenological state of the olive trees, pruning systems, nutrition, and adequate water supply are monitored, and pests that could damage them are biologically controlled. From the flowering in May, the setting of the fruits and the correct growth of the small olives are inspected, measuring calibers and analyzing the fruit loads that exist in each plot of the olive grove, aiming for average harvests.

The Harvest takes place in November when the veraison is midway, and still numerous fruits exhibit greenish, yellowish, and purplish hues. After months of monitoring the olives in the field, the olives are harvested by mechanical procedures and transported within a few hours to the mill in small boxes and refrigerated trucks. In the mill, they are crushed using the most advanced technology, and following strict quality protocols, to produce EVOOs with fresh notes, but at the same time with touches of more mature fruits, gentle juices, velvety, round, balanced, slightly spicy, and with a very discreet level of bitterness.

The name Torre de Canena comes from the family castle located on a hill in the municipality of Canena (Jaén). The olive groves are located in the Upper Guadalquivir valley, between the mountain ranges of Cazorla and Mágina.

Tasting notes:

Well-balanced and harmonious olive oil. An aroma of freshness and green olives stands out from the more fruity notes of this golden green oil. Green grass is a distinct aroma, as well as the flavors of ripe and green fruits, artichoke, and green almond. It enters the mouth smoothly and sublimely with touches of green almond, ripe banana, and red apple compote. Sweet, fluid, and light.

Acidity: 0.11.
