The olives are milled within 24 hours of harvest and cold pressed to preserve flavor, aroma, and freshness. Packaged in a 3-liter bottle, this EVOO carries the Protected Designation of Origin seal, ensuring origin, authenticity, and traditional production know‑how from grove to bottle. The oil is bottled in the harvest year and traces back to the farmer and mill, with a free acidity of 0.2% or less at bottling and staying under 0.5% through shelf life, reflecting careful handling and consistent quality. Its polyphenol richness and slightly bitter, pungent notes invite exploration of flavor without overpowering ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aroma opens with a medium fruitiness and notes of green fruit, green banana, artichoke, freshly cut grass, tomatoes, and dried nuts.
