The Fontclara Arbequina Organic Olive Oil 2024 is a sensory sensation – and the best Arbequina oil we have listed in a long time. This harvest marks a milestone and clearly stands out from its predecessors. The choice to include this oil in our range was easy: it is outstanding in every respect and represents a new era for Arbequina olive oil.
This year, the oil displays a fascinating yellowish-green hue, a result of careful processing at lower temperatures, facilitated by the abundant rainfall. This meant that less chlorophyll was extracted from the fruit.
Even the first aromas reveal its class: one perceives almond blossoms and green almonds, even a hint of apple, a touch of nutshell – a wonderful bouquet. On the palate, a complex interplay of gentle bitterness, subtle spiciness, and vibrant, vegetal notes unfolds, reminiscent once again of green almonds, freshly cut grass, meadow flowers, and wild radishes. This complexity is rounded off by balsamic nuances of thyme, rosemary, and myrtle, typical of the unspoiled landscape of Empordà.
The finish is long and intense – with hints – who would have thought it – of green almonds and sweet apple.
Fontclara Arbequina Bio 2024 – an exceptional oil. Thank you, Roland Zanotelli!
