Single-varietal extra virgin olive oil pressed from Don Carlo olives grown in Somerset West, Western Cape. Early harvest. Cold-extracted. Aromas of tomato, tomato leaf, artichoke and rosemary. Palate shows pronounced bitterness and pungency, with spicy undertones and notes of almond and artichoke. Acidity typically below 0.3%. Provenance: Morgenster Estate, which introduced the Don Carlo cultivar to South Africa in 1994. Multiple awards in international olive oil competitions. Suitable for robust culinary applications.
Morgenster was the first in South Africa to plant this cultivar and still to date holds the propagation rights.
