Tasting Notes
An attractive and complex aroma of warm, spicy greenery and herbs with flowery apples which are joined by green bananas, citrus fruit and a touch of pineapple and tropical fruits. The flavours are lightly nutty and stalky at the start but build up with bitter herbs, including rocket and mustard leaf and a touch of orange zest. Pepper comes in to warm the mouth and lingers into an after taste with a salad bowl of leaves with sorrel and tomatoes. This is a medium style of oil with well balanced bitterness and pepper. The organic certification, CAAE since 1996, guarantees an oil completely free from chemicals, herbicides and insecticides.

The flavours are full of stalky fruit and sweet nuts with lightly toasty tones to start. This is followed by a build-up of artichokes and bitter almond skins with a touch of liquorice. Some pepperiness joins the mix with bittersalad herbs and tomato skins lingering into the softer aftertaste which manages to be both sweet and spicy. This is a medium style of oil which is both complex and very well balanced. The organic certification, CAAE since 1996, guarantees an oil completely free from chemicals, herbicides and insecticides.
