Named "Duo," this oil is a blend of two of Spain’s most famous olives. This extra virgin Olive oil is a blend of 90% Arbequina and 10% Picual, made with olives that are fully ripe to give it a fruity aroma with hints of almond and banana. It is delicate and balanced with a mild intensity and length. The aromas of Marques de Grinon oil are exceptionally vivid and bold with notes of green tomatoes, verdant grasses, and artichoke and almond. Its finish is pleasantly pungent which reveals the oil's freshness. Use this splendid oil generously to adorn favorite recipes that call for an anointment of extra virgin olive oil. To preserve the oil's properties keep in a cool place away from direct light. The timing of the harvest and the types of olives used to make Marques de Grinon is critical for obtaining top-quality oil. The harvest lasts for only five to six days and the olives have a high antioxidant activity that helps preserve the integrity of the oil.
