Having tried the Hojiblanca, this one being a blend between that and Picuda, there definitely is a difference in taste and aroma. I found it to smell sweeter than it tasted but I did like it.
I wasn’t the biggest fan but could do well for cooking purposes. I found it quite thick and it had a long lasting after taste which didn’t suite my palette.
Always nice coming across a non-filtered on a store shelf. Notes of sour apple and peaty (earthy) Taste was robust but so peppery that it didn’t come across well-balanced to me. The apple and earthy notes were prominent to me so could be okay to cook certain dishes with.
A floral and beautiful smelling and tasting evoo. On smell, floral, nutty and fresh olives. On taste, creamy in texture, moderate in intensity and well-balanced. Very little to no spice. I purchased this 250ml evoo in a fine foods store (epicure / 7anout) in La Marsa, Tunisia. An elegant Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the Sfax region in Tunisia.
A beautiful yellow hue with this evoo. Body is medium and tasting intensity is high. On smell, grassy, herbaceous, vegetal and artichoke. Quite spicy and lingers in the throat. I wouldn’t regularly sip on this evoo but fine to cook with.
