incl.Btw
Cabrona oil is made from olives of the Menya variety.
This species is in danger of disappearing as the cultivation has much more demanding needs when it comes to cultivation than other varieties.
For example, when pruning, we have to allocate twice as much time as the other varieties of olive trees. The yield in fat material is very low and the amount of harvest is very irregular each campaign.
Our first objective has been to highlight the positive possibilities that the organoleptic characteristics that the Menya gives us, such as a very marked astringency, spicy touch of the oil at the end, a lot of body in the mouth, not at all fruity, high complexity making - the only one in the world with these characteristics.
The entire cultivation process is organic farming and we harvest the olives mechanically, respecting the olive as much as possible.
A very early harvest and a very short elaboration process with time achieving a very high concentration of proliphenols and a very low level of acidity. This involves obtaining a very intense and extremely interesting olive fruit juice to pair with powerful products such as artichokes, grilled meats, carpaccio, toasted bread, etc.
A unique product for palates looking for a product with unmatched characteristics on the oil market at the moment.
