Tasting Notes

This oil delivers unique savoury flavours with a green almond center, followed by an explosive wasabi and Szechuan peppercorn finish. Highly pungent and deeply complex, this oil is not for the faint of heart and is beloved by seasoned olive oil enthusiasts.

What Makes This Oil Exceptional

Our partner producer in Portugal uses an advanced high-vacuum malaxation process, removing oxygen during the most oxidation-prone stage of production. This cutting-edge technique preserves phenolic content, flavour integrity, and overall chemistry, resulting in a remarkably stable and nutrient-dense olive oil.
