Masía El Altet Special Selection 500 ml is an extra virgin olive oil made exclusively from Changlot Real olives, a rare indigenous variety that finds exceptionally unique conditions in the mountainous environment of Alicante. The Masía El Altet olive groves are located in the Polop Valley, in Alcoy, at an altitude of approximately 800 to 880 meters.
The olives are harvested at the pre-veraisonstage, seeking to capture a moment of great aromatic intensity in the fruit. Special Selection is produced exclusively from the estate's own harvest and represents one of Masía El Altet's most distinctive creations, both for the variety used and its limited nature.
Its aromatic profile is broad and complex. Notes of fennel and freshly cut grass emerge alongside hints of citrus, green fruit, fig leaf, tomato, and green almond. On the palate, it exhibits good density and structure, combining vegetal and fruity sensations with balanced bitterness and pungency that extend its intensity.
Due to its personality, it is particularly interesting for raw consumption. It pairs very well with intense cheeses, red meats, oily fish, pasta, and vegetables. It is also an excellent choice for finishing dishes where the aim is for the oil to provide a clearly recognizable aromatic component.
