Crush Date: October 2023 – MEDIUM Intensity
Our Portuguese Arbequina has a creamy mouth feel and displays floral characteristics along with a green almond centre and a sweet, malty finish. Lingering pepper and low bitterness.
Our partner producer (SAOV) in Portugal is using a high vacuum during malaxation to remove all of the oxygen in this processing stage where the oil spends the most time and is most prone to oxidation. This cutting-edge and very technical method preserves the phenolic content, the overall chemistry plus the flavour characteristics while reducing other oxidation markers.
