Sigona’s February 2012 olive oil of the month

Cobrançosa

from Portugal

This oil…

• is beautifully floral, herbaceous and fantastically fresh

• comes from the most coveted of all indigenous Portuguese varietals

• presents a robust, fruity flavor up front, followed by a well-balanced middle featuring flavors of ripe olive and a hint of herbs; it finishes with a slight, fleeting pepper sensation on the back end

• boasts a 355 polyphenol count; polyphenols have beneficial effects on cholesterol, blood pressure and coronary disease risk
