Taste: From the set of several cultivars combined in an early stage of maturation, an intense oil is obtained with a strong character, but still balanced, basically green, medium fruity with hints of almond, artichoke and decisive notes of bitter and spicy.
Appearance: The color is clear green, the result of immediate filtration through natural cartons which guarantees perfect conservation.
