Nocellara Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Intensity: Robust
Crush Date: November 2021
Country of origin: Greece
The Sicilian Nocellara is complex with unique savory and sweet fruit notes and a pleasant creamy mouth feel. A lingering pepperiness builds in the back of the throat followed by a delayed astringency signifying the healthy Oleocanthal content present in fresh oil, although this production contains little to no bitterness making it a superbly balanced oil. True to its variety characteristics from last year but kicked up in pungency, it displays savory and sweet fruit notes of green apple/apple peel, sweet berry, stone fruit and slight confectionary flavors with delayed peppery sensations and a lingering spicy mouth feel!
