This complex Spanish oil comes from one of the most decorated producers in the world! Our Spanish Hojiblanca is floral with a green almond center and notes of melon. The lingering szechuan peppercorn sensation is indicative of the high phenol content. Our greenest oil with high fruitiness scores. Awarded first place at the LA EVOO competition this year!
