This is a unique oil that’s got one of the most dedicated followings I’ve ever witnessed. We tracked it down years ago at the adamant insistence of Nancy Harmon Jenkins, one of the world’s most knowledgeable food folks, and it’s had a growing cadre of fans ever since.
A rich, golden nectar with a distinctive herbal character no other oil can match, it sings with an unequaled pitch in its range of high and low flavor notes. One of its devoted fans told me, "If you love olives, you’ll want to marry this oil."
We've just received the 2009 harvest and it is big, bold and really, really fruity! The oil has a strong, winey aroma, yet the flavor is full, rich and buttery. A great new harvest with a rather unique twist on its traditional flavor.
