A ripe, fruity olive oil, with notes of tomato and dried fruit and a slightly spicy finish.
This exceptional oil comes from an olive grove in the village of Monte da Oliveira Velha, 17 km from Évora and 25 km from Estremoz in Alentejo.
Only 700 liters are produced per year, from a single variety of Galician olives, grown in the same small olive grove. It can usually only be purchased on site.
What I like
- A soft and round flavor on the palate.
- A single olive grove and a single olive variety.
- Quality as the sole focus.
Characteristics
- Production region: Alentejo
- Origin: A single olive grove.
- Acidity: Less than 0.1%
- Capacity: 250 ml
- Store away from light, heat and odors.
The olive grove
The olive grove that produces this olive oil was planted 62 years ago by the grandfather of the current operator, and production only started in 2015.
The olive trees are treated with care, without haste, respecting the best agricultural practices. The olives are picked by hand, placed in 20 kg boxes and processed the same day to preserve all the properties of the olive oil.
This results in a very low yield (7 liters of olive oil for 100 kg of olives), which contributes to the excellence of this oil.
Recommendations
This olive oil is packaged in an opaque glass bottle so as not to alter its taste. Once at home, keep your olive oil bottle in a dry place, away from any heat source.
Of course, this olive oil can be used for cooking, but that would be a shame. Reserve it for simple seasonings, or even better, offer it with fresh bread as an aperitif, Portuguese style. And why not, use an olive oil tasting plate.
