Lentrisca Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Ultra High Phenolic Olive Oil - Limited Harvest
Harvest: 2025
Country / Region: Portugal
Intensity: Robust
Description: Returning for the third time at The Olive Oil Emporium: a limited batch of the rare Lentrisca varietal. Native to Portugal, this varietal is rarely seen outside of its production area. It is usually blended with other varieties, but here we present the Lentrisca in its purest form. This year’s harvest produced a total phenol count of 924ppm, an antioxidant powerhouse - resulting in a powerful pepperiness! The Oleocanthal for this crush measured in at 341ppm, or almsot 37% of the total phenolic group! A very intense oil! Very limited quantity.
Additional Notes: Our partner producer (SAOV) in Portugal is using a high vacuum during malaxation to remove all of the oxygen in this processing stage where the oil spends the most time and is most prone to oxidation. This cutting edge and very technical method preserves the phenolic content, the overall chemistry plus the flavor characteristics while reducing other oxidation markers.
Tasting Profile / Serving Suggestions: This year’s harvest is unique and complex with savoury notes and a green almond center followed by the most intense wasabi and Szechuan Peppercorn finish. A very intense oil! Perfect for those who crave a touch of adventure in every drop. A great olive oil that works well with savoury dishes that are well-seasoned, with roasted meats and vegetables, with grilled meats, and big protein-enriched salads.
