The 2ème Récolte cuvée is a soft and delicate extra virgin olive oil. With ripe fruity and green notes, it boasts a rich taste palette. You can find a variety of fruit aromas, featuring notes of ripe apple and banana, as well as hints of hazelnut and walnut. All these aromas blend elegantly, providing a lot of softness and balance to our extra virgin olive oil.
Olive Variety
2ème Récolte is a monovarietal Arbequina oil, a variety originating from Catalonia. Arbequina oils have a fruity, aromatic, and delicate taste profile with little bitterness. They offer a broad sensory range, from almond, apple, and banana notes to freshly cut grass or dried fruit, depending on their maturity level.
Fruit Maturity
The olives used for our 2ème Récolte oil are harvested later, about 4 weeks after those for the 1ère Récolte, starting from the moment of "veraison." The olives then turn purplish, also known as "purpurin," before turning black. It is this slightly more advanced maturity level that gives this oil its fruity softness and balance.
Culinary Pairings
2ème Récolte is a sweet and fruity extra virgin olive oil that pairs perfectly with meat and fish dishes. It is also an excellent companion for cold desserts such as olive oil ice cream or fruit salads.
