Wildly Virgin 'Verde' Extra Vigin Olive Oil (Portugal) 500ml

ABOUT

In the world of top-quality olive oils, the term "Green/Verde/Vert" refers to an oil released immediately after harvest. These are typified by grassy flavors and very high levels of polyphenols - the healthy chemicals you can identify by the almost tannic, grassy feeling in the back of your throat after tasting. 

Pro Tip

To get the full complexity offered by an olive oil, take a teaspoonful into your mouth, press it up against the roof of your mouth until warm, then move it over every taste bud before breathing in through your teeth and along the side of your tongue. THEN, swallow, and breathe in again. The difference is phenomenal!

The Oil: From the rugged Trás-os-Montes region, located in the mountainous Northeastern portion of Portugal, just South and West of Spain and bordered by the Douro River to the south. This is an organic, DOP oil. It is Wildy Virgin's greenest, most herbaceous oil of the three in their lineup. Very high in polyphenols.

Wildly Virgin olive oils are made from a single producer, a single grove, and a single harvest. Nothing blended, nothing to hide. Extra virgin olive oil at its purest.

Tasting Notes: Medium fruitiness with excellent balance and complexity. Fresh herbal notes and crisp green apple aromas, with distinctive tomato leaf and gentle black
pepper on the finish.
