Castillo de Canena Primer Día de Cosecha Arbequina 500 ml is a monovarietal Arbequina extra virgin olive oil from an early harvestproduced by Castillo de Canena in Jaén. It belongs to the Primer Día de Cosecha (First Day of Harvest) collection, created to reflect the character of the first oils obtained at the start of each new season.
For its production, Arbequina olives are harvested early, when the fruit retains a high expression of fresh, vegetal aromas. The result combines the usual delicate character of this variety with the liveliness typical of an oil obtained at the beginning of the harvest.
Sensorially, it offers a fresh and aromatic fruitiness, with hints of apple, green banana, and almond accompanied by herbaceous and vegetal notes. On the palate, it is smooth and enveloping, with slightly sweet sensations and restrained bitterness and pungency that provide balance and freshness.
It is an excellent choice to enjoy on bread, tomatoes, salads, vegetables, and creamy soups. Its profile also combines especially well with fish, seafood, white meats, pasta, and rice dishes, as well as sauces and emulsions where an aromatic but moderately intense EVOO is desired.
