Tasting Notes
Mardouw’s Extra Virgin Olive Oils are well balanced with fruitiness, slightly bitter and peppery after taste. Positive attributes such as green olives, banana, apple, grass, tomato, artichoke, olive leaf, green almond characterize the oils.
Mardouw’s premium table olives are slowly cured for up to 18 months, in fresh mountain spring water and pure salt only.
History & Culture
All Mardouw’s Extra Virgin Olive Oils are pure, natural oils made from olives grown and processed according to the highest quality and technology standards, consistently guaranteeing a free fatty acid and peroxide value of well below internationally required standards of 0.8% and 20 Meq/Kg. We are so proud of our low values, that we indicate it on our bottles.
