The oil
Early-harvest Picual: an oil with character and green fruitiness, with the bitterness and pepperiness typical of the variety; it shines raw and holds up well in cooking.
Lubrín, in the Filabres mountains
Raíces de Almajalejo comes from Lubrín, an inland village of Almería looking onto the Sierra de los Filabres, where Agrícola García grows its olives and makes its oil in limited quantities.
The house harvests early, with green and turning olives, and extracts the oil cold and by mechanical means only. Its groves are in conversion to organic farming, as the label states, so the oil is not yet sold as certified organic.
Format
Container with handle, the family format for everyday cooking. Once opened, keep it in a cool, dry place away from light.
To get the most from it, taste it raw first, on bread or a simple salad, and then in the kitchen: a good oil shows as much when finishing a dish as when cooking over gentle heat. It is best enjoyed in the months after opening, while its aromas are intact.
At the table
Toast, salads, roasted vegetables, stews and fish; raw, it shows its early-harvest freshness.
