The latest launch of Castillo de Canena, a young Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil refined in amontillado Jerez wine barrels with more than half a century of ageing. It is the result of the passion for two gastronomic products such as EVOO and sherry wines. The nose is reminiscent of toasted nuts, noble woods, ripe fruit and mushrooms (perrechicos), with a delicate hint of sherry. The palate has an elegant and sweet entry with notes of toasted hazelnuts with hints of ripe avocado. The finish is reminiscent of boot wood, an amontillada sensation that is perfect for seasoning a large number of preparations and raw materials.
It is ideal to consume with clams, cockles and oysters or raw, or canned and even pan-fried; fried or roasted almonds and olives: mojama, ling and ling roe; mushrooms and boletus in carpaccio or sautéed; shrimp or tuna carpaccio and tartar; grilled foie, partridge pâtés and meat pies; salted and baked fish; grilled or baked poultry and pork; dark chocolate and with nuts.
