C.A.R.M. (CASAS AGRICOLA ROBOREDO MADEIRA) - D.O.P ORGANIC EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

One of the most exceptional Olive Oils we have tasted to date! Smooth, fruity, elegant, a must have for anyone who considers themselves an oil connoisseur.

The Madeira family has owned land in the Douro region dating back to the 17th century. They have over 200 hectares of olive groves and 60 hectares of vineyards where they produce world class wines and olive oils. The soil is poor and rocky on steep slopes and temperatures soar high with little rainfall. Only vines, almonds and olives adapt naturally to this climate.

We are proud to introduce Carm Grande Escolha , produced from olives hand picked between the end of October and the beginning of December, when the color changes from green to black. The olives are quickly processed without delay, pulverized in a traditional stone mill without the addition of any water, which may diminish their aromatic quality. The key to the greatness of this oil is in the pressing – gentle, at ambient temperatures, so as to produce a soft oil without any loss of aroma or harsh bitterness. Extraction is done using the most modern cold extraction technology, one unheard of in Portugal. The oil is bottled after a natural decanting, without filtering. 500 ml bottle - $18.00 ea.
