Coupage extra virgin olive oil - Early Harvest, Oro del Desierto, organic 100 ml

Oro del Desierto Coupage olive oil is made from three different varieties of olives: arbequina, hojiblanca and picual.
The olives are harvested from the only real desert in Europe, an olive grove in the Tabernas desert in Almería.
The olive harvest runs from October to early November. Once picked, the olives are stored in batches of 2000 litres, which are carefully analysed to find the right ratio between the best olives and the different varieties.
The oil is cold pressed in a two-stage process from very young olives, 65-75 % of which are still green.
In addition to the grassiness and tomato notes, you can also smell green olives and a hint of citrus and dried fruit. The initial mouthfeel of the olive oil is soft, with just a slight hint of bitterness. Later on, the flavour becomes peppery and the finish is lingering, fruity and slightly peppery.
Coupage olive oil is a very versatile and balanced oil that combines the best of all three varieties. It has an oleic acid content of 70-75 % and is rich in polyphenols and antioxidants, with 450-600 mg/kg depending on the batch.
