Description
This award winning Portuguese Grande Reserva is comprised of Galega, Cobrançosa and Picual. The complexity of this fragrant extra virgin olive oil is exemplified by cut grass on the nose from Galega, tomato and stone fruit notes from Picual and a pronounced savory and floral flavor that lingers from the Cobrançosa. The finish is nice and peppery. Galega and Cobrançosa are rare but traditional Portuguese olive varieties.
