Castillo de Canena Family Reserve
It has been the custom for generations to reserve the best of each variety’s harvest for the house in a renowned “Family Reserve”. In Castillo de Canena we now share it, in limited and numbered editions, with all those who know how to enjoy a really special extra virgin oil.
Arbequino
Although it is the olive of Catalonia par excellence, it is also to be found in other parts of Spain; the Balearic Islands, Extremadura and Andalusia. The fruit is small and round and the tree of medium size, leafy, and of a dark green colour.
Taste of Arbequino Family Reserve
“It stands out for its extraordinary fineness, roundness and enormous complexity, within an appreciable intensity and fine body, and, especially, its exceptional fruit, aromatic and gustatory quality. Exuberant vegetable fragrances: lemon skin, lemon verbena, tomato leaves and olives. And in the mouth it stores a growing, very evolutionary taste, where the velvety entrance eventually becomes an explosion of impregnated green sensations of a fine bitterness and a certain final spiciness".
