La Cata Horizontral AOVE Castillo de Canena Case

A gastronomic experiment to observe the evolution of the oils during three consecutive months: October, November and December. For the first time in oil, a transparent bottle covered with a UV filter has been used to preserve the oil and to observe the evolution of color.

• This is a unique sensory journey where you can enjoy and observe the evolution of the Extra Virgin Olive Oil, of the same varietal, Arbequina, harvested during three consecutive months -October, November and December- in the family estate. In this way you will be able to experience the organoleptic differences between the different harvesting months.
• Unlike what happens with wine, in the world of oil you cannot play with vintages since it does not improve over the years. However, as the months go by, the oil does evolve both in color and in tasting, from an intense dark green oil to a more golden, ripe and almost sweet one.
• Therefore, instead of proposing a vertical tasting by vintage, as would be the case with wine, in this experiment we offer a horizontal tasting by month. In order to show the chromatic differences, we have also used for the first time transparent silkscreen-printed bottles coated with a colorless varnish, the latest technology, which protects the oil from UV rays.
• The Horizontal Tasting is part of the Oils of the XXI Century, a collection that pursues the excellence and innovation that Castillo de Canena started with its Family Reserves.
