Castillo de Canena Primero Royal 500 ml

Tasting of Castillo de Canena Primero Royal

Extra virgin olive oil, 100% Royal.

A few centuries ago, the Royal variety was very common in our country. And especially in Jaén it was frequently cultivated. In the last century, without any reason, other varieties were chosen, leaving this one on the verge of extinction. Castillo de Canena has corrected this error, cultivating it again. Royal Primero, concentrates the first royals of the harvest.

It offers a light green color with yellowish reflections.

On the nose, it shows an intense aroma of green olives and a great complexity of herbaceous and fruity tones, with banana, green apple and almond standing out. In the background, we see green spikes and lemon leaves.

The delicate and complex flavour stands out in the mouth. Very light in bitterness and spiciness, somewhat more prominent but very delicate and late. Harmonious, with a medium structure, almond aftertaste and good persistence.

Castillo de Canena is a family business with a long history in the world of extra virgin olive oil production. The estate is located in Jaén, and its olive trees are fed by the Guadiana Menor River. All this, in an unrivalled natural setting: Sierra Mágina, Sierra Cazorla and Cazorla Natural Park.

To give the oil a sweeter, more unique and less spicy flavor, Fertirrigation is used.

The production method is based on an environmentally friendly farming method, which is achieved by combining the traditional style of our ancestors with the most modern and ecological technology of today.

Immediately after harvesting, the olives are taken to the mill, following an exhaustive safety protocol, thus managing to maintain intact the flavour and aromas that this precious fruit offers us.

It is suggested for grilled vegetables, tomato sauces, fish such as salmon, cod and meats such as rabbit or chicken.
