Tasting Notes
Eliris Harvest
Aroma:
Sharply herbaceous and aromatic tones leap out of the bottle as soon as it is opened. This is followed by plenty of lemon and lime citrus notes with apple skins and a touch of fresh culinary herbs.
Taste:
Sweet salad leaves with lightly toasted nuts are followed by a gentle bitterness and good pepper. More herbaceous tones with a touch of tomato arrive as the pepper fades to leave a pleasantly lingering aftertaste.
Style:
A relatively delicate oil with a full-bodied aroma and well balanced bitterness and pepper.
Overall Assessment:
This is an excellent oil with a lovely aroma. It is more delicate in the mouth than one might expect from the aroma but still has a really pleasant flavour. The combination offers a very versatile oil which can be used for all kinds of culinary applications as well as for finishing and dipping. It will appeal to all tastes.

Oleocanthal: 342 mg/Kg – average 135
Oleacein: 127 mg/Kg – average 105
Oleuropein aglycon (monoaldehyde form): 43 mg/Kg
Oleuropein aglycon (dialdehyde forms)*: 32 mg/Kg
Ligstroside aglycon (monoaldehyde form): 56 mg/Kg
Ligstroside aglycon (dialdehyde forms)**: 88 mg/Kg

The levels of oleocanthal and oleacein are higher than the average values (135 and 105 mg/Kg respectively) of the samples included in the international study performed at the University of California, Davis.
The daily consumption of 20 g of ELIRIS provides 14 mg of hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol or their derivatives (>>5 mg) and consequently the oil belongs to the category of oils that protect the blood lipids from oxidative stress according to the Regulation 432/2012 of the European Union.
It should be noted that oleocanthal and oleacein present important biological activity and they have been related with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cardioprotective and neuroprotective activity.
The chemical analysis was performed according to the method published in J. Agric. Food Chem., 2012, 60 (47), pp 11696–11703, J. Agric. Food Chem., 2014, 62 (3), 600–607 and OLIVAE, 2015, 122, 22-33.
