Condado de Martiniega La Cárcel 500 ml is an extra virgin olive oil made exclusively from Lecciana olivesharvested from the La Cárcel estate, located in Corella, Navarre. It is one of the most intense varieties within the Condado de Martiniega range.
The olives are harvested during early harvest, between the months of October and November, aiming to work with fresh fruit at its optimal point of ripeness. After harvesting, they are quickly transported to the oil mill for production using mechanical processes and cold extraction.
Sensory-wise, it is a complex oil with a distinct personality. On the nose, sensations of fresh grass and green almond predominate, accompanied by various vegetal notes. On the palate, it displays an enveloping texture and remarkable structure, with an intense bitterness and persistent spiciness that prolong the oil's sensations.
Its powerful profile makes it an excellent choice for red meats, grilled vegetables, legumes, stews, and aged cheeses. It can also be used raw on bread, tomatoes, or simple dishes when seeking to add intensity and depth with EVOO.
