Tunisian Organic Chetoui (Very Robust) – Super High Phenol

Description

Crush Date: November 2021

Tasting Notes

This extraordinarily high phenol Organic Chetoui registers the highest phenol count of the season and is among the highest in the world. It has delayed and significant “punchy” pepperiness and lingering bitterness signifying the healthy antioxidants. True to its high phenol content, we’ve dubbed this fiery EVOO a “3 cougher”. Contains notes of green tea leaf and hints of malt.

Intensity: Robust

FLAVOR PROFILE:
With its gorgeous golden color with notes of green running through, our Chetoui extra virgin is as beautiful to look at as it is delicious to taste. It has a fruity flavor, with green and almond flavors rounding it out. Its high phenolic compound guarantees this variety is stable against high levels of oxidation.

PAIRING SUGGESTIONS:
Our Chetoui extra virgin is a very versatile, all-purpose olive oil, and works especially well as part of a vinaigrette. Pair it with our Tangerine, Blackberry or Vanilla Balsamic vinegars and use as a dressing over baby spinach, baby kale, shredded carrots, goat cheese, roasted beets and pine nuts. With a profile more like an Italian oil, our Chetoui also works well as a dipping oil for artisan breads.
