Tasting Canena Primero Royal
On the nose fruity aromas prevail over herbaceous ones: green banana, artichoke and light touches of ripe pineapple and kiwi. It is an unusual profile for a Jaén oil, surprising in its exoticism.
On the palate it is sweet and, gradually, light peppery touches join in to give it length. It is a balanced oil that invites slow tasting.
A revived variety
Royal cultivation in Jaén goes back centuries, but it suffered a drastic decline from the late 19th century until it was on the verge of disappearing. Castillo de Canena revived it and planted it on its family estate, returning part of its agricultural heritage to the province.
The company, which controls the whole process from tree to bottle, works under integrated production certification and keeps its oils in stainless steel tanks.
