Product Description
Harvested early in Peru, this fresh Barnea Extra Virgin Olive Oil delivers a robust yet beautifully balanced flavor experience. Its pronounced fruitiness, satisfying bitterness, and peppery finish make it a distinctive oil for anyone who appreciates fresh, expressive extra virgin olive oil.
Aromas and flavors of unripe pear open the profile, leading into a smooth, creamy center with pleasing fennel notes. A lively but balanced pepperiness completes the finish without overwhelming the oil’s delicate fruit character.
