Pons JANIROC Lecciana Extra Virgin Olive Oil Clearance Amazon

Description

An early harvest organic extra virgin olive oil (EVO), obtained exclusively from Lecciana olives harvested from Pons’ own olive groves in Lleida. JANIROC Lecciana is a very complex EVO with green balsamic aromas. In the mouth it is an intense balance between spiciness, sweetness and bitterness, with an intense peppery finish.

This extra virgin olive oil is ideal for use in dressings and marinades and works especially well as a final flourish for dishes such carpaccios and tomato salads.

This exclusive organic EVO is a tribute to Jan and Roc, the fifth generation of the Pons Family, the first family of olive oil in Spain. 

Producer

Since the 1930s, and spanning four generations, the Pons family has been deeply and passionately engaged in the cultivation of olives in the Lleida region of Catalonia. Their approach combines age-old wisdom with cutting-edge agronomic practices, ensuring each drop of Pons oil is a testament to both the past, and the future, of finest olive oil cultivation.

The Pons family have always been innovative leaders and have created many initiatives to ensure a successful future. Their olive ‘library’ project saw the planting of 313 varieties to identify which ones would cope best with changing climatic conditions, were most adaptive to terroir, displayed resilience within intensive organic cultivation, and offered superior organoleptic qualities.

They have patiently, and over time, added to their extensive land holdings with the purchase of adjoining small plots. This has enabled Pons to embark on a project to plant over 1 million olive trees by 2028. To date, they are well on the way to achieving this ambitious goal. Recognising that water is a truly precious resource, Pons have state-of-the-art irrigation technology in place to manage and optimise water use sustainably.

Pons also uses technology to make sure the olives are harvested at their optimal peak, and once in the mill all production methods are co-ordinated to make sure robust polyphenol content is preserved. This is key to ensuring that the highest possible antioxidant properties and health benefits are retained, while contributing to a stable product with good shelf-life.

Alongside their exceptional olive oils, Pons offer a range of quality versions of classic Spanish ingredients including; vinegars, olives, capers, caperberries and sweet white garlic. A selected range of fabulous wines completes the Pons offering.
