Belazu Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil Tin - 1L (33.81fl oz)

Our May Stone Crushed Early Harvest EVOOHarvested at the beginning of the season, stone crushed and cold extracted, creating an intense and aromatic flavour. Unlike most, this extra virgin olive oil is unfiltered, so some of the olive particles remain and settle at the bottom, and the oil is a little cloudy. But we think the intensified aroma and flavour are worth it.Varietal ArbequinaCharacter Notes of Fresh Grass and PepperFlavour notes for Early HarvestA pure grassy freshnessHints of pepper with notes of banana, apple and almondClean on the palate yet complex in characterWhat is Stone Crushed May 2016?A first in olive oil production - a second season crushing of the early harvest Arbequina olives, that brings the supreme fresh notes and character of a newly harvested EVOO not once but twice in one year.How is it made?Eduard Pons, our longstanding supplier, has mastered an innovative method, freezing some of the November olives to capture their distinctive taste.
