Castillo de Canena Extra Virgin Olive Oil Picual - 2019-2020 First Day of Harvest -16-9oz-500ml- Imported from Spain

Castillo de Canena - First Day of Harvest 2019 is the extraordinary result of a whole year of effort by the olive-growers, and an homage to the mystique of the very first pressing of the harvest, with all its magic and joy. On the new label for 2019, Juan Echanove has captured the feelings of an actor before, during and after the experience of performing onstage Flos Olei 2020 selected the extra virgin olive oils made by Castillo de Canena as the finest in the world for the eighth year in a row, giving them the highest possible score (100/100 points). This achievement positions the Castillo de Canena extra virgin olive oils among the top 9 in the world. The Picual First Day of Harvest 2019 is a fragrant oil with an intense green color, a high concentration of chlorophyll and great expressiveness. Its sensorial profile is very fresh, with notes of green leaves, tomato plant, green apple and very green banana peel. On the palate it has the same expressive strength as in the nose, with similar herbal tones, notably of tendrils and malva. These notes prevail over a pleasant piquancy, gently perceptible in the throat and evolving into a fresh peppercorn note, with a slight bitterness and discreet astringency that reminds us of nettle. This is a velvety juice, very persistent in the mouth and structurally well-balanced. Since 1780, the Castillo de Canena estate has been producing exceptional oils in the Guadalquivir Valley of Andalusia in the south of Spain. To obtain these prized extra-virgin olive oils, Castillo de Canena works with precision agriculture. Using cutting-edge technology, the company can scientifically supervise the physiological situation of its olive trees in real time, and respond to their needs through out the seasons. Precision agriculture also permits the company to determine the exact day upon which to begin the harvest of each varietal, not a minute too late or too soon for optimal ripeness.
