Nobleza del Sur NOVO (500 ml) is a limited-edition Extra Virgin Olive Oil produced in Castellar, Jaén, from 100% early-harvest Picual olives. Representing one of the first oils of the season for Nobleza del Sur, it aims to express the full freshness, intensity, and character of freshly harvested green olives. With a distinctive deep green color, it offers a fruitiness of great aromatic complexity. On the nose, green notes of olive leaf, wheatgrass, lavender, and tomato plant emerge, accompanied by fruity hints of green banana, apple, and green almond. It features a particularly fresh, vegetal profile that reflects the character of the Picual variety when harvested at an early stage of ripeness. On the palate, it displays excellent balance, with a pleasant, fresh entry followed by light, well-integrated bitterness and pungency. Its mouthfeel is harmonious, and the finish is delicate and elegant, retaining the green and fruity sensations perceived on the nose. This EVOO is especially suited for raw consumption, allowing its aromatic richness to shine fully. It pairs beautifully with toast, salads, and vegetables, as well as with meats, fish, seafood, and sauces where the fresh character of an early-harvest Picual is desired.
