One thing I tell people tasting for the first time is feel the oil. It should sit on your tongue, not sheet off like water. This beautiful blend is full bodied, fruit forward with a light bitterness and light heat. It sits on your tongue and let 's you contemplate.
Why Altadena? Because this is where my family has trees- a miniscule amount compared to the commercial farms. But it's where I climbed as a kid, shook the trees and stained my clothes purple, and was taught by aunts and uncles how to salt cure.
We 've combined two varietals so that this oil is a perfect balance - a distinct beginning, middle and end. Herbaceous floral notes, with flavors of green tomato and hints of apple.
Elegant, well balanced bitterness and pungency.
