Description
Our 2025 Cobrançosa Reserve was harvested and processed in under an hour from trees grown in rocky soil. This particular batch displays bitter, herbaceous notes of radicchio and salad greens with pronounced floral notes on the back and loads of pungency.
Our partner producer (SAOV) in Portugal uses 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.
