Cosecha Temprana is a single-variety extra virgin olive oil from the Spanish brand Legatum, certified under the Priego de Córdoba Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). It is made exclusively from Picuda olives grown in the family’s mountain groves in Córdoba province, Andalusia.

The olives are rain-fed and harvested in October and November, just as they begin to ripen. This early harvest gives the oil a pronounced green olive aroma and fresh herbal notes.

The oil has aromas of fresh grass, tomato leaf, and artichoke, with fruity notes of apple and banana. It opens with a touch of sweetness, followed by moderate bitterness and a peppery finish. Drizzle it over toast with fresh tomatoes or use it to finish roasted vegetables just before serving.
