Knolive Epicure Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500 ml

Knolive Epicure – World's Best Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2017/2018

Knolive Epicure is the flagship of the Author's Collection by Knolive Oils, a mill in Priego de Córdoba within the Sierra Subbética Natural Park. This premium Hojiblanca and Picuda blend comes from centuries-old trees grown on high ground, harvested early (mechanically and by hand) and cold-extracted the same day by two-phase centrifugation. It rests in a climate-controlled cellar in nitrogen-inerted stainless steel tanks.

Tasting notes

Elegant green colour with delicate golden glints. On the nose, fresh fruity aromas of apple and ripe green olive. On the palate, tomato leaf, freshly cut grass and fresh almond, finishing with gentle bitter notes and a pleasant white-pepper pungency.
