Castillo de Canena 'First Day of Harvest' Picual - new season 24/25

New Season. 500mls. High polyphenols.

A limited edition premium extra virgin olive oil made solely from green olives harvested in the first 24 hours of the new season.

Each season a personality from the arts, sciences or society is celebrated in the  design of the label.

This year it is the 450 year anniversary of the birth of Andrés de Vandelvira, the Renaissance Spanish architect whose work features widely throughout Jaén, Uclés, Baeza, and Úbeda, in Andalucia.

On the nose, this EVOO presents a very young fruitiness of green grass, tomato, green apple and very green banana peel. On the palate it has the same expressive power, with added herbaceous flavours.
