This oil is fresh! Aromas of fresh green artichoke and tarragon immediately fill the nose, along with culinary herbs and fresh-cut grass. These aromas translate into the flavor in perfect harmony, with the taste of grass, olive leaf, fresh artichoke, all blended with creamy avocado and notes of fresh lettuce. This arbequina is hardly bitter, and offers a warming finish of green peppercorns and baking spices. The pungency is not very intense, but lingers and fills the senses.
Pair with fresh pasta, creamy cheese sauces, alfredo, or mornay-style sauces. Also lovely with creamy cheese like bourisin or drizzled over labneh to mop up with fresh pita or crostini. Whisk into simple salad dressings and drizzle over fresh greens for a simple dressing that is buttery and creamy in both flavor and texture.
