Quinta Mourisca do Alendouro - Azeite Virgem Extra BIO Madural - 250ml

A monovarietal olive oil produced exclusively from organically grown Madural olives, a variety characteristic of the Trás-os-Montes region. This particular olive cultivar is notable for its early ripening, a trait that dictates the timing of the harvest. To capture the distinct and fresh flavor profile inherent in the Madural olive, Quinta Mourisca harvests these fruits while they are still green. This early harvesting strategy is crucial for preserving the oil's vibrant characteristics. As the olives are organically cultivated, the production adheres to stringent standards prohibiting synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, promoting soil health and biodiversity within the olive groves. This commitment to organic farming is a cornerstone of Quinta Mourisca's sustainable practices. Extracted from these carefully harvested organic Madural olives, the resulting extra virgin olive oil presents a sensory profile defined by its freshness. Culinary-educated palates can anticipate an oil with herbaceous notes, potentially exhibiting a subtle bitterness and a peppery finish, often indicative of early harvest oils rich in polyphenols. The exclusive use of the Madural variety contributes to a unique flavor identity that represents the Trás-os-Montes terroir and the specific characteristics of this indigenous olive. The organic certification further assures a product crafted with environmental responsibility and a focus on the purity of the fruit.
