Quinta Mourisca do Alendouro - Azeite Virgem Extra BIO Maduro Clássico - 250ml

Produced from an organically grown Cobrançosa, Verdeal, and Madural olives blend. This olive oil is characterized as a milder expression than the producer's "green oils," indicating a different harvest timing or processing yielding a less intensely herbaceous or pungent profile. Despite its milder nature, the oil retains a spicy and bitter taste, suggesting a balanced complexity. The olives used in this blend are cultivated under organic farming practices, excluding synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, thus supporting soil health and biodiversity within the olive groves. This commitment to organic methods underscores Quinta Mourisca's dedication to sustainable production.

The resulting extra virgin olive oil offers a sensory experience that, while gentler on the palate than their greener counterparts, still presents discernible peppery and bitter notes, likely complemented by the individual characteristics of the Cobrançosa, Verdeal, and Madural varieties. Cobrançosa typically contributes bitterness and pungency, Verdeal can offer fruity and herbaceous nuances, and Madural provides its own distinct flavor profile. The blend aims to create a well-rounded and versatile olive oil that maintains character while offering a softer overall intensity, appealing to a wider range of culinary applications. The organic certification assures consumers of the oil's production following environmentally responsible and pure methods.
