Intensity: ROBUST *Crush Date: October 2024
The 2024 Cobrançosa Reserve, harvested and processed within an hour from trees in rocky terrain, is a robust and intensely aromatic oil. This batch features bitter, herbaceous flavors of unripe olive and green almond, complemented by distinct floral undertones and a potent pungency. A perennial favorite from SAOV, it continues to be a multi-award-winning EVOO annually. A 3-4 Cough.
Our partner producer (SAOV) in Portugal is using a high vacuum during malaxation to remove all of the oxygen in this processing stage where the oil spends the most time and is most prone to oxidation. This cutting edge and very technical method preserves the phenolic content, the overall chemistry plus the flavor characteristics while reducing other oxidation markers.
