Taylor’s The Chef’s Edition Extra Virgin Olive Oil 6 x 500ml Douro Region DESCRIPTION For many, Taylor’s is the archetypal Port house and its wines the quintessential Ports. Established over three centuries ago in 1692, Taylor’s is one of the oldest of the founding Port houses. It is dedicated entirely to the production of Port wine and in particular to its finest styles. Above all, Taylor’s is regarded as the benchmark for Vintage Port. Taylor’s is also respected as a producer of wood aged ports and holds one of the largest reserves of rare cask aged wines from which its distinguished aged tawny Ports are drawn. Above all, Taylor’s is an independent company in which some family members play a leading role in all areas of the firm’s activity. The firm’s long and unbroken family tradition has provided continuity and clarity of purpose, essential attributes of any great wine house. It has also allowed the skills and knowledge required to produce the finest ports to be constantly refined and added to in the light of experience as they are passed down from one generation to the next. Based in Oporto and the Douro Valley the company is closely involved in all stages of the production of its Ports, from the planting of the vineyard and the cultivation of the grapes to the making, ageing, blending and bottling of the wines. The family’s commitment to the future of Port is demonstrated in its single minded dedication to the highest standards in Port production, its continued investment in all aspects of the firm’s operations and its determination to preserve the unique environment of the Douro Valley through the promotion of sustainable and responsible viticulture. OLIVE VARIETIES: Madural, Cordovil, Verdeal Trasmontana, Molar & Cobrançosa. EXTRACTION PROCESS The harvest is manual and takes place in November, the ideal time to pick the olives to produce the desired oil. To maintain maximum flavour and freshness from the olives, the time between picking and milling is kept to a minimum with the olives milled on the same day as they have been picked. To make the finest extra virgin olive oil, the olives are cold pressed. This preserves all its natural flavours, produces a low level of acidity and maintains its high nutritional value. TASTING NOTES Light golden yellow in colour with flecks of green. An intense green fruity aroma, tomato leaves, granny smith apple, artichoke and green almond. On the palate it is fresh, with a delicate spice that dances on the tongue and finishes with an herbaceous, medium astringency. SERVING It is an essential ingredient that can bring all the flavours in a dish together, creating balance and harmony. Elevate your culinary experiences with Taylor’s Chef Edition.
