*Crush Date: November 2021
An early harvest Kalamata with savory vegetable notes of asparagus and artichoke. Immediate spiciness on the front and a lingering Szechuan peppercorn finish. The combination of picking the fruit early at an extremely low green maturity index and minimal processing has resulted in high phenol content but more significant: extraordinarily high and healthful amounts of the antioxidant Oleocanthal (275.4 ppm)
