COBRANCOSA ULTRA PREMIUM EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
Experience the bold character of our 2024 Cobrançosa Reserve EVOO, harvested and processed within an hour to ensure unmatched freshness. Grown in rocky soils, this premium extra virgin olive oil offers an intensely aromatic profile with robust, bitter herbaceous notes of unripe olive and green almond, complemented by a subtle floral finish and vibrant pungency.
Crafted in partnership with SAOV in Portugal, this batch benefits from cutting-edge high-vacuum malaxation technology. By eliminating oxygen during the critical processing stage, this method preserves the oil’s phenolic content, maintains its exceptional flavor profile, and protects against oxidation, ensuring superior quality and longevity.
Our ultra-premium extra virgin olive oils (EVOOs) are as versatile as they are exquisite. They pair beautifully with barrel-aged Italian balsamic vinegars, making them perfect for vinaigrettes, marinades, sautéing, or as a finishing drizzle to elevate any dish.

SALAD DRESSING (VINAIGRETTE) PREPARATION
Combine 2 parts Cobrancosa ultra premium extra virgin olive oil with 1 part balsamic vinegar. Whisk together and serve. To emulsify dab in a small amount of Dijon mustard or light mayo and continue whisking. Oil and balsamic will become creamy in appearance. Refrigerate remaining amount for up to 3 days.
MARINADE PREPARATION
Combine equal parts Cobrancosa ultra premium extra virgin olive oil with equal parts balsamic vinegar. We recommend preparing just enough to cover the protein. Place in zip-lock bag and squeeze out air. Place in refrigerator for at least six hours.
Note: For Fish, Seafood (catches from the water) we recommend rubbing the Cobrancosa EVOO into the raw protein in the absence of the balsamic vinegar for approximately 30 minutes. We recommend NOT using balsamic during the marinade step to prevent the acidic balsamic from breaking down the delicate protein. Instead, combine Cobrancosa EVOO and balsamic and use to drizzle over the finished product.
HEAT APPLICATIONS
Applying heat to any oil or balsamic may slightly reduce the original flavor profile. To bring back any lost flavors prepare a small amount of fresh marinade and drizzle over the finished product.
