TASTING NOTES
Our 2024 Cobrançosa Reserve was harvested and processed
in under an hour from trees grown in rocky soil. The result is
an intensely aromatic and robust example. This particular
batch displays bitter, herbaceous notes of unripe olive and
green almond with pronounced floral notes on the back and
loads of pungency.
Our partner producer (SAOV) in Portugal is using a high vacuum during
malaxation to remove all of the oxygen in this processing stage where the oil
spends the most time and is most prone to oxidation. This cutting edge and
very technical method preserves the phenolic content, the overall chemistry
plus the flavor characteristics while reducing other oxidation markers.
