Extreme Robust Intensity

Crush Date: November 2024

Country of origin: Tunisia

This extraordinarily intense Chetoui registers the highest polyphenol count of the season. It displays a spectacularly aromatic nose with savory notes of wheatgrass, artichoke heart and ample bitterness. This oil is reminiscent of a Northern Italian style.

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.
