ElOlivo review:
We couldn’t wait to taste this oil. When it arrived the first thing we did was take out one bottle from its box and pour it into a tasting glass. In terms of aromas, the Baravoleum Novadillo Blanco is beautifully complex and harmonious. Grass, tomato, artichoke, fig, apple, and green almond are all there. At tasting, grass, tomato and apple come forward followed by pleasant notes of artichoke and almond. It comes with mild bitterness and medium spiciness. Although it is stable and perfect for cooking, we use it only raw. A great company for tapas nights with some lovely sourdough bread. This is The Bravoleum Nevadillo Blanco, classic and complex, just beautiful. Enjoy!
