Description

Organic, single-varietal, early harvest extra virgin olive oil, made exclusively with Lecciana olives from our own farms in Lleida, where four generations of the Pons family have cultivated calcareous soils under an extreme continental climate at 500 m altitude. On the nose, deep green fruity with freshly cut grass, fig leaf and young almond. On the palate, banana and almond sweetness with elegant bitterness and clean spiciness, which extend into a long, vegetal and spicy finish. Especially recommended raw: soft cheeses, carpaccio, tartars, steamed vegetables and toasted bread. Its intensity and aromatic persistence make it the choice of chefs and restaurant professionals in more than 100 countries. We extract cold, without adding water, in our biotechnological mill located next to the olive grove. The entire process begins in less than 30 minutes from harvest, preserving more than 350 mg/kg of polyphenols. With this figure, JANIROC Lecciana exceeds the threshold of 250 mg/kg set by Regulation (EU) 432/2012, which allows us to include the official statement of the EFSA: "The polyphenols in olive oil contribute to the protection of blood lipids against oxidative damage"* *For the benefit to be effective, the regulations establish a usual consumption of 20 g per day (approximately one and a half tablespoons). Formats: 100 ml · 250 ml · 500 ml · 2 L can · 5 L bag-in-box.
