Product Description

Harvested in Portugal, this fresh Cobrançosa Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a robust, intensely flavorful oil with savory green character, pronounced fruitiness, and a lively peppery finish.

Distinctive notes of fresh arugula and green tea leaf create an herbaceous, pleasantly bitter profile. Its impressive fruitiness gives the oil dimension and balance before a bold pungency develops across the finish.

Advanced Milling

Protected from Oxygen During Production

The Portuguese producer uses high-vacuum malaxation to remove oxygen during the processing stage in which the olive paste spends the most time and is especially vulnerable to oxidation. This advanced milling method helps preserve the oil’s phenolic content, fresh chemistry, and distinctive flavor while reducing oxidation markers.
