Harvested in Peru in April 2025, this robust early-harvest Barnea delivers an aromatic and layered profile. It opens with granny smith apple peel and savory herbs, then unfolds into unripe banana and lingering pepper on the finish. Expressive and complex, it showcases the bold side of Barnea, a variety more often known for its softer character.
Flavor & Balance
With Fruitiness 4.7, Bitterness 3.2, and Pungency 3.1, this oil achieves a distinctive balance: bright and fresh with a subtle herbal edge, finishing with a peppery lift.
Quality & Nutrition
Lab results confirm exceptional freshness: Biophenols 436.6 ppm, Oleic Acid 65.32%, DAGs 65.32, Squalene 3,528, FFA 0.16, Peroxide 4.4, PPP <0.5, and α-Tocopherols 236. These values highlight its antioxidant strength, purity, and stability. With a smoke point of 390°F, it performs equally well in the kitchen and as a finishing oil.
Best Uses
Perfect for roasted meats, grilled vegetables, hearty greens, or dipping with crusty bread. Its complexity shines in tomato-based sauces, marinades, and dressings where freshness and peppery bite make all the difference.
