Portuguese Cobrancosa Reserve (Robust) - Sample is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Crush Date: October 2024
Tasting Notes:
Our 2024 Cobrançosa Reserve was harvested and processed in under an hour from trees grown in rocky soil. The result is an intensely aromatic and robust example. This particular batch displays bitter, herbaceous notes of unripe olive and green almond with pronounced floral notes on the back and loads of pungency.
Our partner producer (SAOV) in Portugal is using a high vacuum during malaxation to remove all of the oxygen in this processing stage where the oil spends the most time and is most prone to oxidation. This cutting edge and very technical method preserves the phenolic content, the overall chemistry plus the flavor characteristics while reducing other oxidation markers.
Product ships in dark glass bottles, clear glass was used in the photo to show color.

Portuguese cobrancosa has a light but rich flavor that lifts salad dressings and my Andalusian Gazpacho to the next level.
Very good. I eat it with bread and veggies, also love it in salads
Great on salads or over fish
This is a very versatile olive oil for cooking/baking, salads, bread dipping, etc. A great all around olive oil
