Molí Coloma Santa Creu BIO 500ml

Santa Creu (Catalan for Holy Cross) extra virgin olive oil pays homage to the 11th-century Romanesque hermitage of Santa Creu de Creixà, located in the municipality of Piera. Around the hermitage, there are centuries-old olive trees from which the olives are exclusively sourced to produce this very limited production oil.

This is a region marked by Mediterranean influence, with dry, hot summers and cold, humid winters. The soil where the olive trees for this magnificent extra virgin olive oil grow is clay-loam and poor in organic matter.

In this unique area, there are also hectares of forest rich in fauna and flora and a large number of organically grown vineyards. The harvesting of the oil from the Santa Creu plot is done by hand. A unique and exclusive gem.

This unique and privileged environment, along with the technical expertise in extraction, combine to create a complex extra virgin olive oil, bringing out diverse aromas and a very pleasant and balanced finish.

Very low acidity oil, balanced and complex. Green olive fruitiness, with a well-harmonized pungency and bitterness. The aftertaste enhances the fruitiness, improving its freshness. Exceptional aromas of apple, banana, tomato, and artichoke.

The entry on the palate is soft and fruity.

Santa Creu exhibits a particular harmony between pungency and astringency, with a predominance of the characteristic sweetness of Arbequina variety oils.

Molí Coloma is one of the global pioneers of modern olive growing since the early 90s with the famous "finca La Boella" in Tarragona, and a fervent advocate for Catalan varieties.

The extra virgin olive oils cultivated and produced by Molí Coloma, whether single-variety, blended, or from new varieties (Lecciana), are always very balanced, pleasant, and versatile.

The 3 enemies of extra virgin olive oil are heat, air, and light...

1. Choose opaque bottles (never transparent!) and avoid direct contact with light.
2. Store your oil in a cool, dark place and avoid exposing it to a heat source if not necessary (oven or other cooking area).
3. Depending on your consumption rate, try not to have too many half-used bottles for too long (the air inside accelerates the oil's oxidation). A few weeks is still fine.
