6 Bottles of 250ml of Extra Virgin Olive Oil refined in sherry casks. Variety Arbequina.
Arbequino Amontillado, a young arbequina extra virgin olive oil impregnated with the complex aromas of an old amontillado wine, after being refined in sherry wine casks with more than half a century of ageing.
Amontillado is an extra virgin olive oil that has been refined in sherry wine casks for more than half a century
To make them, first a singular wine was chosen, as is the amontillado, and some young and ductile arbequina extra virgin olive oils, capable of appropriating other aromas and fragrances
Once in the Castillo de Canena winery, the old amontillado wine was extracted and the barrel was filled with arbequina extra virgin olive oil. Thus, little by little and over a few days, the young olive juice was impregnated with the complex aromas of the old amontillado.
Perfect for traditional and avant-garde recipes The new Arbequino Amontillado is perfect for seasoning a wide range of preparations and raw materials. From the simplest to the most radical. "Thanks to its organoleptic characteristics, this new Arbequino Amontillado is great for pairing with a multitude of dishes and recipes, from the most classic to the most innovative," said Rosa Vañó. Thus, it can be paired extraordinarily well with:

To make the new Arbequino Amontillado we use an Arbequina EVOO with tasting notes of alloza, apple and nutshell, and with a very moderate presence of spicy and bitter notes. Early harvest juices but with small sensory touches of maturity and with enough malleability to make the transfer of aromas from the old amontillado a success.
The tasting of the new AOVE is a very good example of this
The tasting of the new Arbequino Amontillado has a surprising nose, very evocative and with hints of toasted nuts, noble woods, ripe fruit and mushrooms; with a delicate nuance of sherry. The palate is friendly and elegant on the entry. Fluid and sweet on the palate, complex and with a wide range of different nuances: iodized notes, toasted hazelnuts, intermingled with hints of ripe avocado. On the finish, hints of oak clearly stand out, an amontillada sensation with umami nuance
It is presented in 250 ml black glass bottles, whose label symbolizes the historical brotherhood between the vine and the olive tree; culture and ancient tradition in its purest form.
