► Characteristics of the Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Royal Don Remigio EVOO is a new-harvest, balanced, and versatile olive oil that adapts perfectly to delicate preparations, enhancing the natural flavor of ingredients with elegance and without overpowering the dish.

► Origin

Estate located in Baeza, Jaén.

► Olive Variety

Monovarietal Picual. Maximum acidity: 0.2%.

► Tasting Notes

This green oil offers a fruity profile reminiscent of tomato plant and freshly cut grass. On the palate, it is smooth, with notes of almond and walnut, finishing with a subtle peppery touch reminiscent of chili pepper.

► Production Process

Early harvest takes place during October and November. Olives are quickly milled upon arrival at the mill, and the oil is extracted using cold mechanical processes (temperatures between 18°C and 20°C).

► Pairing Suggestions

Gourmet and fruit salads:

Perfect for fresh salads with delicate ingredients such as leafy greens, strawberries, citrus fruits, nuts, and goat cheese. Its smoothness complements and balances fresh flavors without masking them.

Fish and seafood:

Ideal for white fish dishes such as hake, sea bass, or gilthead bream, either steamed or grilled. It also pairs beautifully with seafood like shrimp or prawns, enhancing flavor without overwhelming it.

Smooth and aromatic, this premium olive oil is excellent for raw dishes such as beef or tuna carpaccio and fish tartares, adding a fresh touch that elevates natural flavors.

Steamed or grilled vegetables:

A drizzle of Royal EVOO over steamed or grilled vegetables like asparagus, artichokes, or zucchini adds a delicate layer of flavor while highlighting their natural nuances.

Light pasta dishes:

Ideal for pasta with fresh or light sauces, such as lemon and basil, or simply with garlic and this EVOO. Its gentle profile enhances the pasta without dominating it.

Fruit-based desserts:

Perfect for fruit desserts such as fruit salads, ice creams, or even tropical fruit sorbets. A few drops of Royal EVOO add a subtle and elegant touch, balancing fruit acidity.

Cold soups and smooth creams:

Excellent for dishes like ajoblanco, asparagus cream, or mild gazpacho, where this EVOO provides a silky texture and enhances flavor without excessive intensity.
