Lech Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Oro del Deserto 500 ml

Oro del Desierto Lechín is a limited production organic extra virgin olive oil made exclusively from the rare Lechín de Granada variety. The oil is cold pressed (2-stage extraction) from olives harvested early, half of which are still green at the time of harvest. This ensures an exceptionally high polyphenol content (350-600 mg/kg) and a long shelf life.

The olive trees grow on three farms in the Tabernas desert (Almería, Andalusia): El Vicario, Sierra Bermeja and Cortijillo de las Pencas. The age of the trees varies between 80 and 250 years. The farm is run entirely organically with renewable energy.

Aroma profile:
Colour: intense gold, bright and filtered.
Nose: green olives, dried fruit, hints of apricots.
Taste: soft and fruity, well balanced, apple and ripe fruit, with a subtle spiciness at the end.

Store in a cool, dark place away from light. Recommended for use cold or at low temperature to preserve the aroma.
