71.40

Description

Extra virgin olive oil with an intense green fruitiness (+6). Aromas of wild herbs from the countryside are perceived, with the same intensity as the green of tree leaves and aromatic plants such as thyme, tarragon, and fennel. On the palate, it is dense and full-bodied, with bitterness and spiciness perfectly balanced and harmonized (+4/5). It presents flavors of arugula, nasturtium, watercress, green tomato, pistachios, wild apple, artichoke heart, and fig leaves. It has a long finish, leaving a light taste of succulent herbs such as bird's-foot trefoil or navelwort, with a saline and fresh peppery touch.

Opinions

Good for the soul…And for the stomach!

“At the risk of becoming mystical, I would say that a visit to Finca Fontclara is good for the soul. And if we finish with an oil tasting and an aperitif, it is also great for the stomach!”

Marta Ramos, visitor

The essence of Empordà

“Fontclara extra virgin olive oil has the property of condensing in a single drop what, for many, is the essence of the Empordà: its flavor, its aromas, its mood… In short: its soul.”

Laura Conde, journalist

A place to disconnect

“Visiting the Fontclara estate is, without a doubt, an experience that should be lived at least once in a lifetime. It is like entering another world, the perfect place to disconnect from the world among olive groves.”

Joan Pérez, visitor

An oil capable of changing any dish

“A few drops of Fontclara extra virgin olive oil are capable of giving new dimensions to any dish: they add incredible nuances to a simple steamed vegetable! At home it is essential.”
