Kalamata Reserve Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil (ROBUST)
This limited production early Kalamata displays peppery sensations at the back of the throat followed by a lingering spice and pungency through the mouth. The combination of picking green, unripe Kalamata fruit and minimal processing results in high antioxidant polyphenol content and more specifically a very high concentration of Oleocanthal at 468 ppm. Flavor notes include creamy green almond and a confectionary center followed by a modest amount of bitterness and throat catching burn similar to Szechwan peppercorn.
