Oro Bailen Hojiblanca extra virgin olive oil (500ml)
Hojiblanca (2024/2025 new harvest) is the mildest premium olive oil in the range of Oro Bailen, one of the world's most awarded olive oil producers (99 points score in Flos Olei, the international olive oil guide) based in Jaen, Andalusia and run by José Galvez, after taking over the family business. This ultra-low acidity (0.1%) single estate premium extra virgin olive oil is typically produced in October during the first 2 weeks of harvest. It is cold-extracted within 2 hours and filtered to preserve its taste and quality throughout its shelf life. It is a mild fruity and very balanced extra virgin olive oil with aromas of artichokes, tomatoes and apples and hints of fennel and peppermint. Its delicate profile makes it particularly versatile. We recommend it for salads, seafood and fish. The Oro Bailen Hojiblanca extra virgin olive oil has a high polyphenol content of 409 mg/kg.
