Mission Olive - 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil~ Robust Intensity

Details

Description

Grown on a small family farm in Lincoln California, this oil is a vivid bright emerald green and smells of fresh olives with aromas of green tea leaves, bay leaves and arugula. It is peppery, green and bitter all at once. It is spicy, herbaceous, grassy, and lively in the mouth. The pleasant astringency leads to a long finish with flavors of green almond and artichoke. 

Uses

This is a wonderful oil to drizzle over pasta sauces and soups. With its high polyphenol count, it is good for sautés and stir-frying. We also recommend taking 1-2 tablespoons of this healthy oil everyday to aid in health and wellness.
