- Directors, Estate Blend & Balsamic Gift Set, 3
- Directors Reserve:
- This flagship Directors Reserve Extra Virgin Olive Oil is delicately composed to satisfy the flavour preference of the directors
- The result is an ultra-premium quality olive oil that reflects our passion and personal commitment
- It is invariably a robust oil that will appeal to any olive oil connoisseur
- The dominant cultivars in this blend are Coratina and Frantoio
- Complex aromas of artichokes and tomato vines are followed by the flavour of fresh rocket and salad herbs while the satisfying bitterness and tingling pungency give body to the oil without overpowering the flavour
- Estate Blend:
- This Estate Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a blend of mainly Frantoio and Mission cultivars harvested at a half-ripe stage with a medium fruity character
- The aroma of freshly cut green grass and a hint of apple follow through on the palate
- The slight bitterness and gentle pepper are balanced and fade to leave a pleasant aftertaste
- Foodies will love the squeeze-me bottle for its practicality and convenience
- The unique patented nozzle allows the olive oil to be poured slower than with traditional olive oil spouts, which means Willow Creek's olive oil goes much further while it allows for portion control
- The unbreakable PET bottle, with its specially added oxygen barrier and UV filter, which keeps the shelf life of the oil intact for at least two years, has already earned the favour of judges and users alike
- Balsamic Vinegar of Modena:
- Willow Creek Olive Estate's Balsamic Vinegar is imported from Modena in Italy, the original home of balsamic vinegar
- Trebbiano grape must be fermented according to authentic production methods and matured in oak barrels to achieve a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity
- This is a classic Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, a popular Italian condiment with a beautiful dark profile
