Olive Truck Tuscan Blend California Olive Oil

500 ml bottle - Sonoma, CA

2023 Harvest

To the nose, the oil has a light but distinct olive oil aroma

The color is a nice yellow green with hints of darkness to it.

The first sip is a very round and pleasant olive flavor that once dissipated, there's a distinct bitterness on the edges of the tongue, but not sharp more flat in feel. As the flavor moves to the back of the throat, you can get a nice kick and a cough.

The second sip allows for a more buttery feel to be discovered, and still with a very nice flavor and a cloud like feel.

When you press your tongue to your mouth to swallow, the pepper bite, tickles the back of throat and a nice cough

Like so many oils from California, considered a Tuscan blend.

This olive oil has some wonderful characteristics and to me a distinctly Californian feel which I like very much. Brighter, cleaner lines with a distinctly different flavor and taste compared to many Italian oils. This could be from the age of the trees.

This 2023 harvest still has punch with wonderful characteristics and worth having in your Essential Pantry. Looking very much forward to the new year and the new harvest.
