Extra virgin arbequina olive oil La Boella. Box of 6 jugs of 2 liters. From La Canonja, Tarragona.
The La Boella Estates, covering more than 250 hectares, are located in Tarragona, next to the Mediterranean Sea. The climate, with mild winters and warm summers, is ideal for the development of the olive tree. Just like the characteristics of the soil.
La Boella cultivates 3 varieties of olives in a traditional way: Arbequina, Koroneiki, and Arbosana.
The arbequina variety is harvested between late October and early December.
Its intensive planting system allows for continuous mechanical harvesting of the olives. The olives are picked at their optimal ripeness. The time between harvesting and milling the fruit is minimized to achieve the best quality of the fruit. The olives do not fall to the ground, but are picked directly from the tree.
At the La Boella mill, the oil is extracted using only physical methods (crushing, beating, and separation). Once the olives are clean of leaves and impurities, they are milled to obtain a homogeneous paste. This paste is added to the mixer, where it is maintained at a temperature between 25°C and 27°C, to preserve all its aromas. After centrifugation, the oil is separated from the paste.
With a balanced and complex profile, ripe fruity notes can be identified in both the nose and mouth. There is a wide variety of vegetable aromas in the background, especially apple and banana. Hints of ripe fruits such as artichoke, almond, fennel, and tomato.
It presents retronasal notes of banana peel, kiwi, and green apple.
The mouthfeel is almond-like, highlighting its sweetness with a final astringency that does not interfere with its profile.
