Merula

By Marqués de Valdueza

Merula is a fruity oil with a medium intensity. The aroma is a construction of different fruits: olives, apples, bananas and pears. The olives, from four varietals, are unified by the aroma of cut grass. In the mouth, the softness of this oil persists over time, with light bitterness and a slightly more intense, spicy finish. The dominating toasted almond tone lingers, defining this oil’s personality.
