Castillo de Canena, First Day of Harvest 2023, is a limited edition oil collected on the first day of harvest and is fundamentally a different product than the early harvest.
The new label for 2023 is to celebrate Fernando Zobel, an abstract painter whose career spanned several continents. This special edition olive oil bottle pays homage to Zobel's Renaissance spirit and his legacy to the world of art and culture.
Presented in an original cherry-colored bottle, the Primer Día de Cosecha Arbequina oil has the same tasting notes as our Arbequina Family Reserve but with greater intensity.
It is very pleasant and smooth on the palate, with a predominance of fresh grass, walnut shells, green almonds and green banana compote with the sweetness of red apple. It is a very harmonious and elegant oil in its aftertaste, with a very balanced bitterness and spiciness that is not at all persistent.
Castillo de Canena is firmly committed to sustainability and environmental protection, recovering the natural equilibrium and diversity of its ecosystem.
Serving Suggestions: Ideal for cooking fish, vinaigrettes and mayonnaise. This oil is a perfect substitute for butter when it comes to baking cakes and pastry creams.
Acidity Level: 0.11%
First Day of Harvest oils are an intense green color, indicative of the concentration of chlorophyll and polyphenols and robust flavors. Harvesting the olives while they are still green, at the very beginning of their ripeness results in higher concentrations of nutrients and flavors. The longer olives stay on the tree, the more oil it will produce, but the more its nutrients and flavors will diminish. These oils are not only early harvest, they are only made with olives collected at the very onset of harvest. Picked within the first few days of harvest and cold-pressed into a bright, fruity and fresh oil, the First Day of Harvest oils are the very highest quality oil produced, and in limited quantities, and brings the early harvest concept to full flavor extremes. The 2023 Arbequina Harvest - is an elegant oil with sweet flavor notes of green grass, unripe and ripe fruit, artichoke, green almond, and green banana. It finishes with a good balance of bitterness and piquancy. Since 1780, the Castillo de Canena estate has been producing exceptional oils in the Guadalquivir Valley of Andalusia in the south of Spain. To obtain these prized extra-virgin olive oils, Castillo de Canena works with precision agriculture. Using cutting-edge technology, the company can scientifically supervise the physiological situation of its olive trees in real-time, and respond to their needs throughout the seasons. Precision agriculture also permits the company to determine the exact day upon which to begin the harvest of each varietal, not a minute too late or too soon for optimal ripeness.
