Description
Our Premium Early Harvest is an EVOO particularly rich in polyphenols, boasting just over 480 polyphenols per 20 grams of olive oil. It is well documented by the EFSA that the minimum quantity of polyphenols must exceed 250 polyphenols per 20g of product to be classified as High-Phenolic* on the market. It should be noted that most EVOOs (up to 95%) in the world contain less than 200 mg per 20g of product.
Organoleptic Characteristics:
- The fruit is in its unripe form.
- Olives harvested between the beginning of September and October 15 at the latest.
- Very high polyphenolic content (up to 500 ml for 20g of product).
- Filtered to the maximum, leaving no unwanted residue (scum or gossypol).
What to expect from this category:
- Transparent, non-cloudy oil texture.
- Bright but stable flavor.
- Strong and clear aromas.
- Momentary burning sensation (for 2 to 3 seconds after ingestion).
- Ideal for more intense palates and for raw use on dishes, such as vegetables, legumes and meats, depending on preference.
