Barnea Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Harvest: 2025
Country / Region: Peru
Intensity: Medium - Robust
Description: The Barnea olive is traditionally seen in parts of the Levant where it is a native varietal but is now commonly grown in other regions including the southern hemisphere olive producing countries. It is a sought after varietal for its high yield and the tree's disease resistant qualities. It typically produces a very pronounced, leafy, green flavour profile. This Peruvian harvest Barnea is true to the varietal's roots and represents one of the finest examples of the Barnea variety we’ve experienced.
Tasting Profile / Serving Suggestions: This season’s Peruvian harvest represents one of the finest examples of the Barnea variety we’ve experienced. This intense early harvest Barnea displays aromatic notes of granny smith apple peel, savoury herb and unripe banana with a lovely lingering pepper finish.
