• Gustatory Phase:Very smooth and velvety entry, without strong bitterness. Sweet and fruity flavour with hints of vegetal notes. Elegant spiciness in the throat due to high polyphenol content. Long persistence with an aftertaste of nuts and a spicy touch.

Preguntas Frecuentes

¿Por qué el AOVE La Heredera es diferente a otros arbequinos?

Porque la arbequina berciana crece en clima atlántico, con menor exposición solar que la mediterránea. Esto produce un aceite más verde, herbáceo y con mayor contenido en polifenoles antioxidantes.

¿Es un aceite ecológico certificado?

Sí, La Heredera cuenta con certificación ecológica. Los olivares se cultivan sin pesticidas ni fertilizantes químicos, respetando el terruño atlántico del Bierzo.

¿Cómo debo conservar este AOVE?

Guárdalo en lugar fresco (15-20 grados), protegido de la luz directa y bien cerrado. Consume preferentemente en los 18 meses siguientes a la apertura para disfrutar de todos sus aromas y polifenoles.
