Sol del Silencio olive oil

Fruit of the disruptive philosophy and innovative character of Bodegas HABLAIn 2020, the Trujillana winery set out to achieve excellence in one of the flavors that most define our country: extra virgin olive oil. Three years later, successes are reaped in the form of awards, such as those received in the 2nd Salón Gourmets EVOO World Competition, and countless recognitions from its best international clients.

Sol del Silencio is a Picual Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil. For its preparation, a cold extraction is carried out (between 17-22ºC) and almost immediately after the fruit is harvested, to prevent it from being damaged and losing its organoleptic and nutritional properties. Bodegas HABLA has six hectares of olive groves around its vineyard in Trujillo (Cáceres).

CATA's notes

Sol del Silencio is a Premium Extra Virgin olive oil, fruity, Picual 100% variety, with an acidity of 0.10%. At sight you can see a golden color with green reflections and aromas of fresh grass with hints of ripe fruit, apple, tomato and fig leaf.

Its flavor is fresh and slightly spicy, with a late spiciness. It is perfect for adding an intense and unique touch to the best proposals of the Mediterranean diet, as well as harmonizing any salad, fresh cheese or salmon and tomato toast.

Sol del Silencio is an ode to freshness and represents a nod to one of its most emblematic wines ready-to-wear, Speaks of Silence.
