Field Blend 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Medium Intensity

Details

Description

Hyper local, this exceptional olive oil is grown right here in our own backyard. This blend of the Manzanillo, Frantoio, Leccino and Grapolo olives is hand tilled and grown without any pesticides. They are 100% hand picked and immediately crushed and filtered. The Field Blend is fragrant and floral with hints of artichoke, nuts, ripe banana, green tea, and hay straw.  Aroma/flavor reflected mostly green olive fruit with the primary descriptor of grass. Mild astringency was noted. The complex flavors linger in the mouth with a peppery finish.

Uses

It is wonderful when used for sautéing and baking, in salad dressings and marinades, and for dipping and drizzling.
