Product Overview
LENTISCA CRUSH DATE OCTOBER 2024
This exceedingly rare Portuguese variety and antioxidant powerhouse is intensely pungent and displays unique confectionary characteristics, a sweet berry center with cinnamon spice notes and lingering pepperiness.
Our partner in Portugal is using a high vacuum during malaxation to remove all of the oxygen in this processing stage where the oil spends the most time & is most prone to oxidation. This cutting edge & very technical method preserves the phenolic content, the overall chemistry plus the flavor characteristics while reducing other oxidation markers.
