Description
Llàgrimes del Canigó Oli del Raig Novello is a rare, unfiltered extra virgin olive oil that embodies the artistry of Catalonia’s Costa Brava. Pressed exclusively from early-harvest Argudell olives, this oil is cold-extracted at the season’s very first dawn—capturing the luminous green vitality and vibrancy of the new harvest.
The bouquet is strikingly expressive: imagine the scent of freshly cut grass mingling with olive leaf, green tomato, and raw artichoke. On the palate, it unfolds with a lively, harmonious character—medium in bitterness, elegantly balanced by a gentle yet lingering peppery finish, and nuanced with undertones of almond and fresh Mediterranean herbs.
To fully appreciate its singular freshness and complexity, savor this oil raw. Drizzle over heirloom tomatoes, grilled vegetables, pristine seafood, or artisan bread, and allow its brightness to transform every bite into a gourmet experience. Revered by discerning chefs and passionate home cooks, Llàgrimes del Canigó Oli del Raig Novello is a testament to the purity, craftsmanship, and terroir of its origin—a true celebration of the season’s first press.
