Torre de Canena Arbequina Carafe 5 L

Torre de Canena Arbequina extra virgin olive oil. 5L bottle. From Canena Jaén.

In order to obtain the Torre de Canena EVOOs, the best plots of the estate are selected. After a continuous monitoring of the vegetative and phenological state of the olive trees, the pruning systems, their nutrition and adequate water supply are monitored, and the pests that could damage them are biologically controlled. From the moment the flowering occurs in May, the setting of the fruit and the correct growth of the small olives are inspected, measuring sizes and analysing the loads of fruit that exist in each plot of the olive grove looking for average harvests.

The harvest takes place in November, when the veraison is halfway through, and many fruits still exhibit greenish, yellowish and purple tones. After months of monitoring the olives in the field, the olives are harvested by mechanical procedures and are transported in just a few hours to the oil mill in small boxes and refrigerated trucks. At the mill, they are ground using the most advanced technology, and following strict quality protocols, to produce EVOOs with fresh notes, but at the same time with hints of riper fruits, pleasant, velvety, rounded, balanced, slightly spicy juices and with a very discreet level of bitterness.

The name Torre de Canena comes from the family castle located on a hill in the municipality of Canena (Jaén). The olive groves are located in the valley of the Alto Guadalquivir, between the mountain ranges of Cazorla and Mágina.

Tasting:

Balanced and harmonious olive oil. An aroma of freshness and green olives stands out from the more fruity notes of this golden green oil. Green grass is a distinct aroma, as are the flavours of ripe and green fruits, artichoke and green almond. It enters the mouth in a smooth and sublime way with hints of green almond, ripe banana and red apple compote. Sweet, fluid and light.

Acidity: 0.11.
