taste
The Duikersdrift Estate Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil offers a well-rounded fruitiness, highlighted by the taste of ripe olives and ripe tomatoes, which provides a fresh, rich flavour. There is also a mild bitterness that complements the fruitiness, adding depth and a subtle, lingering edge that is characteristic of medium oils. The oil’s moderate pungency delivers a gentle peppery finish, enhancing its complexity.
Beneath these more prominent characteristics, delicate hints of banana emerge, adding a soft, creamy undertone that rounds out the oil’s flavour. This blend creates a harmonious, balanced Extra Virgin Olive Oil, ideal for those who appreciate a versatile oil with complex and refined flavours.
