And the oils? She gave me a blind tasting and really they were beyond what I had expected. Each one offering layer after layer of beautifully balanced flavour. I was blown away. The Centenarium is everything you'd expect from an oil that has received 99 points (out of 100) from the prestigious Flos Olei awards (it's kind of the Olympics of olive oil in case you're not familiar). It's as bold and jazzy as a Picual can be with plenty of fresh green notes (it's early harvest of course) and even a little of the lavender Lola grows alongside the olives in the groves. Superb.
