How to choose your EL POAIG olive oil
What do you look for when you taste an olive oil? Perhaps you love the scent of freshly cut grass, prefer a gentle first impression on the palate or enjoy a pronounced green character in every bite. That is where the choice begins.
Each of the three EL POAIG oils has its own personality. To find yours, we invite you to explore their aromas, how they develop on the palate and the impression they leave after tasting.
EL MIL DEL POAIG: balance and a long finish
In EL MIL DEL POAIG, green fruitiness meets notes of freshly cut grass, almond and flowers. It opens gently on the palate, with balanced bitterness and pepperiness and a long, green, fresh finish.
It is a choice for those who enjoy taking time over the details: discovering the aromas first, then following how the oil develops in the mouth. Its character combines aromatic intensity with harmony.
EL VERD DEL POAIG: bold, green character
EL VERD DEL POAIG is a choice for those seeking an expressive oil with a pronounced vegetal character. Its tasting notes describe grass, tomato leaf, fig tree and aromatic herbs, with hints of tender almond.
Much of that boldness comes from its aromatic richness. The palate is described as lightly bitter, with a peppery finish that leaves a clean, fresh impression. This is an oil for enjoying green aromas and recognising their presence in a dish.
You might begin by tasting it on bread, then explore other combinations. Pairing suggestions from our archive include fresh cheese, fish and even chocolate desserts: different ways to discover how that green character interacts with other flavours.
CARMEN DEL POAIG: a gentler palate with green nuances
CARMEN DEL POAIG is the gentlest oil in the collection according to its tasting profile. It has notes of almond, green apple, olive leaf and freshly cut grass, with light bitterness and a peppery finish.
If you prefer a gentler sensation on the palate and enjoy fresh aromas, this is a good place to start. Its character invites you to bring it to the everyday table and take time to discover its nuances.
Start with your own taste
