AUBOCASSA is located in
an old 12th century estate in the Mallorcan town of Manacor, one of the few
places where the true
agrarian nature of Mallorca has been able to endure over time.
The soils are poor, with layers of calcareous rocks and very well drained. The 24-hectare estate has 7,600 olive trees, all of them of the Arbequina variety, which is very well adapted to these soils.
AUBOCASSA is obtained from these olive trees: a smooth oil of enormous fruity intensity that is under the Oli de Mallorca Denomination of Origin and is part of the Grandes Pagos de Olivar.
The aim of Aubocassa is to express the landscape of Mallorca: light, balance and calm - the Mediterranean. This can be smelt and tasted.It’s like a fresh fruit juice made from fruit picked at just the right moment. The pungency and bitterness are almost imperceptible.
Cultivation fully respects the environment, following the rules of integrated production.
The first harvest was marketed in 1998, and represented a revolution in the world of olive oil, becoming the pioneer of a new tendency: “high quality Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil".
This project was was set up by Bodegas Roda and much of the knowledge of viticulture and oenology wasused in its development.
The oil mill is in the 12th century Arab farmhouse and is equipped with the latest technology in oil extraction.
AUBOCASSA has received great recognition both
nationally and internationally and is marketed in 30 countries, Japan being the
first export market.
Colour: Opalescent in appearance, due to the fact that it is not filtered, it has a greenish yellow colour.
Nose: It has aromatic notes of lemon peel and freshly cut fresh grass. it is reminiscent of a vegetable garden with ramallet tomatoes and artichokes. It smells like an exquisite finished gazpacho. In the range of fruits, green banana and apple stand out. Fresh almonds and pistachios complement the aroma.
Palate: It is silky, full, fresh and enveloping, full of fruits and vegetables, with a very slight spiciness that gives life to the whole, without any bitter notes that stand out. There is a slight reminder of the cereals in a country-style loaf.
The serene and bright landscape of Mallorca.
This harvest has been the scarcest in the history of Aubocassa, with very little production and very low yields.
