“Foods of Spain 2016” award oils

Finca la Torre: intense fruity aroma of freshly cut grass and olive leaf. Bitter on the palate, progressive and persistent spiciness with hints of green almond, apple and banana peel. Complex and balanced. Oro Bailen, family reserve, picual: It has an intense and complex green fruity aroma, in which you can appreciate frank aromas of tomato (characteristic aroma of picual), apple, freshly cut grass, green banana, green almond, etc., and without a doubt what marks this oil is its bitter-spicy balance, very pleasant. Its entry into the mouth is sweet, leaving a sensation of greenness and freshness when passing through the mouth. Castillo de Canena, family reserve, picual: Its intense green colour corresponds to the green fruitiness of the olive. Great olfactory complexity. The smell of freshly cut grass and aromatic plants such as basil, thyme or mint are softened and nuanced by the elegance and delicacy of the notes of tomato, green wheat and fresh fruit such as green apple or banana peel. On the palate it presents enormous expressive power. Correspondence with the olfactory notes, great balance between bitterness and spiciness that are barely noticeable. Very structured, persistent and harmonious.
