Monovarietal Cornicabra

Description

Brand
1 OLIVO POR LA PAZ
Varietal
Cornicabra (100%)
Harvest
We harvest our Arbequina in mid-October, when the olive is in veraison. In respect to the olive tree and to insure the best quality of our product, we harvest the olives entirely by hand, gentley pulling the olives off the branch and into the basket.
Processing
Once the olives have been picked they are immediately brought to the mill. We follow rigorous quality controls during every stage to produce the olive juice for Organic Extra Virgin, first cold press.
Where we are
We are located inside a Nature Park, 850 meters above sea level. We enjoy a continental climate with a hint of Mediterranean influence. The soil is limy and permeable which facilitates the cultivation of olive trees and enhances the quality of the oil.

Tasting notes

We might call this our “Kingdom of Cornicabra” as this varietal takes on its highest dimension, superior complexity, harmony and persistence.

Cornicabra’s frutiness is marked by leafy vegetable notes; to imagine its intensity think of children anxiously waiting at the schoolroom door to be let out for recess on a rainy day… boisterous aromas of green tomato plant, artichoke skipping along with green asparagus, a touch of distracted arugula, and delicate hints of herbs quietly sitting in the corner.

Once the door is open, out comes a Mediterranean caress, its faint sweetness gives way to bitterness… characteristic of this variety, a sign of premium elaboration, it surrounds you with fresh spring rain, letting in a medium pungency.

Its persistence, encouraged by the urge to keep tasting it, brings a complex herbal retronasal with echoes of green nuts.

From the first contact, it brings to mind roasts, stews, grants personality to creamy soups, mashed potato or squash, and is the perfect accompaniment for every kind of roasted vegetable.
