<p>This exceptional early-harvest extra virgin olive oil from Lola Sagra is produced exclusively from Picual olives grown on Nobleza del Sur's Vista Alegre Farm in the fertile region of Jaén, an area in Southern Spain renowned for its abundant sunshine and unique microclimate. Produced in limited quantities, the olives are harvested early in October and crushed nearby at the family-owned mill, resulting in an oil that is emerald green in color with complex fruity and herbaceous aromas of olive leaf, wheat grass, lavender, tomato, green banana, green almond and green tomato. Sweet on first entry into the mouth, the oil is nicely balanced by the presence of bitter and spicy notes that help develop an elegant persistence. Try this oil on meats, fish and shellfish, pizza, pasta, or drizzled over hearty soups. Item includes gift bag as pictured.</p>
