The Gay Farmer, Organic Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500ml

Early Harvest Picual October 2023 Harvest Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500ml

Aroma:

An intense and complex aroma of well flavoured salad leaves leaps out from the
bottle along with a touch of sorrel, tomatoes-on-the-vine and light citrus tones with flowery lemon and lime.

Taste:

The flavours in the mouth do not disappoint as they develop with the addition of
mustard leaves, peppery watercress and a growing presence of really attractive tomato coulis. Bitterness and pepper come in to add to the complexity and all linger into the long fruity after
taste.

Style:

This is a medium to robust oil with extremely well balanced fruit, bitterness and
pepper.

Assessment:

This is an excellent oil with an appealing aroma and characterful taste. It can be
successfully combined with a wide range of other ingredients, used to make dips and to add an extra dimension to everything from soups and salads to stews, casseroles and pasta dishes.

The idea for producing olive oil came to Mark, aka The Gay Farmer, at the beginning of 2008 after his first olive harvest on his mother’s small-holding in Moratalla, north west Murcia in Spain. He now works with his mother's farm and a nearby organic olive mill, who have their own 1500-acre estate, to produce high-quality cold-pressed olive oil and import it to the UK.
