Galega Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Portugal

Robust Intensity Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Crush Date: October 2024  |  Country of Origin: Portugal

This reliable award-winning oil showcases notes of green almond, freshly cut grass, savory herbs, and artichoke, culminating in a lingering floral finish.

Our partner producer (SAOV) in Portugal employs a high-vacuum malaxation technique to eliminate oxygen during the processing stage where the oil is most susceptible to oxidation. This advanced method effectively preserves the phenolic content, overall chemistry, and flavor characteristics while minimizing oxidation markers.
