Organic, single-varietal extra virgin olive oil from the early harvest, sourced exclusively from our estates in Lleida. Made solely with Koroneiki olives, a variety of Greek origin adapted to the dry, calcareous soils of L'Albagés, where it thrives with minimal water consumption. Four generations of the Pons family have cultivated these lands at an altitude of 500 meters, under an extreme continental climate that defines the character of our terroir, and the fifth generation now lends its name to this collection. The early harvest, in the first days of October, captures the fruit at its peak. On the nose, it offers intense green fruitiness and a fresh, minty sensation, with notes of fresh grass, olive leaf, apple, and fennel. On the palate, the spiciness, bitterness, and astringency are of medium intensity, balanced by a clear note of sweetness that maintains the overall harmony. Its richness in oleic acid and bitter compounds gives it exceptional stability and a long shelf life. Especially recommended for use raw. Its character enhances pasta, rice, and vegetable dishes, fish and seafood, Iberian products, sweet and fruity sauces, or simply a good artisan bread. It also performs well in cooking, especially in light frying where a pronounced olive oil flavor is desired. Chefs and restaurant professionals in more than 140 countries choose our Koroneiki EVOO for its intensity, stability, and aromatic persistence. The importance of polyphenols.
