Intense gold colour, with green hues. Filtered. In nose, its intense, fruity, wide and powerful, notes of tomato, apple and banana. Also almonds and mind touches in less intensity. Very complex and well balanced. In mouth it has soft entrance with vegetable notes of lettuce and almonds. Good balance between bitterness and spiciness. Piquant flavours are present and appear late on the throat, this will depend on the aftertaste.
The dream of this small company was to make their own extra virgin olive oil and market it under their own brand in order to obtain a high quality product and added value. Finally they decided to acquire an old oil mill that dated back to 1925, which was unique in Almería and had been abandoned since the 1970s.
