Padilla Selección Taggiasca, 500 ml bottle
12,50 € VAT included per bottle, box of 6
Padilla Selección Taggiasca is an extra virgin olive oil from the Ligurian Taggiasca variety, grown by Aceites Padilla in Jaén. Deep green, with intense green-olive fruitiness, herbal notes and an elegant aniseed aftertaste. The oil comes in a 500 ml bottle from the Padilla family groves.
Padilla Selección Taggiasca began as a wager: in March 2015, the Padilla family planted the first plantation of Taggiasca in Spain on one of their plots in Jaén. This variety, native to Liguria, gives an oil with a character very different from the Picual of the province.
It is an extra virgin olive oil of deep green colour, with intense green-olive fruitiness and an aniseed aftertaste that makes it unmistakable. The 500 ml bottle invites you to try it slowly, in small spoonfuls, before taking it to the table.
