Recipe with Imagine Royal from Verde Esmeralda
The Royal variety is one of the most exclusive in the world, as it is only grown in the Sierra de Cazorla. This Extra Virgin Olive Oil is much milder than Picual. Its flavor is very fruity with almost no bitterness, making it a delicate, refined, and highly prized oil.
Royal oil flavor: it is a very fruity and smooth EVOO, with a very mild bitter touch and a subtle, lingering spiciness. When harvested green, it releases prominent aromas of almond, green apple, and green banana. If collected later, the oil becomes sweeter, with aromas reminiscent of fig, vanilla, or nuts.
This oil pairs especially well with foods such as red meats, as its mildness does not overpower other flavors. It is also excellent for cold appetizers like salads, cheeses, and desserts with citrus or chocolate.
