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

New Season. 500mls.

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 Andrés de Vandelvira, the Renaissance Spanish architect whose work features widely throughout Jaén, Uclés, Baeza, and Úbeda, in Andalucia.

A very fine medium-intensity extra virgin olive oil produced from Arbequina olives, with predominant notes of almond and apple. 

Presented in an original cherry-coloured bottle, the First Day of Harvest Arbequina has the same tasting notes as the Castillo de Canena Arbequina Family Reserve but with greater intensity: smooth on the palate, with a predominance of fresh grass, walnut shells, green almonds and green banana compote with the sweetness of red apple. A harmonious and elegant oil with a balanced bitterness and spiciness and clean finish.
