Particular attention to delicate taste and aroma A special blend of olive oils that no one can imitate Palacio Márquez de Viana has been involved in olive oil production in Andalusia, Spain, for more than 200 years. The "Sublime Early Harvest Blend" is made by selecting early-harvested olives harvested in October and olives harvested two weeks later that are close to full ripeness, and blending three varieties: Arbequina, Picual, and Royal. It is a one-of-a-kind olive oil that aims to be a blend that cannot be imitated by other brands. The aroma of Arbequina such as chicory and herbs, and the green taste of eucalyptus and green apple of Picual are well expressed, while the flavor of the royal variety is added to create the taste. The result is a smooth and bold mouthfeel with a balance of blueness and sweetness, as well as a fruity aroma. ● 3 types of olives blended by artisans This olive oil is blended by master blenders who have mastered blending techniques at Scotland's premier whisky distillery, analyzing the taste and aroma. The distribution of each is changed every year, resulting in a delicate taste with no variation in quality. ● Thorough quality control to maintain freshness We pay particular attention to quality control and control 100% of the entire process from harvest to shipment. The olives are harvested quickly and carefully with a special harvester so as not to damage the fruit, and the oil is pressed by cold pressing (low temperature and low pressure) within 3 hours after harvesting. It does not impair the original strong flavor of olives. Cold pressing is an old-fashioned method that most manufacturers no longer do because it reduces the amount of oil that can be pressed and is laborious and costly. The pressed olive oil is stored in stainless steel tanks that are kept at a constant temperature. After that, it can be bottled just before shipment to keep it freshly squeezed. To prevent light damage, use a dark-colored bottle with high light shielding. In addition, nitrogen is injected to completely block it from the air and prevent oxidation. ●Awards At Olive Japan, the world's largest international olive oil contest, it has won consecutive gold awards since its first entry in 2014, and has won the top prize in 2016, proving its excellence by gaining high praise among food professionals. 《Tasting Notes》 Complex and elegant, the Sublime Early Harvest blend features a smooth yet bold mouthfeel and fruity aroma.
