Hello Barnea! The first of our Southern Hemisphere 2023 harvest – crushed in March! One of the finest examples of the Barnea varietal we’ve come across. This intense early harvest olive oil is exceedingly fruity on the nose – combining notes of tropical fruit, green apple peel, and banana with a lovely lingering pepper. While we consider it to be robust, this year’s Barnea has only a modicum of bitterness! Enjoy this robust olive oil for sauteing, adding a bold finish to any dish or savoring this “fresh juice” for its health properties!
