The Herdade do Esporão DOP Norte Alentejano is an extra virgin olive oil with a protected designation of origin (DOP), reflecting the typical characteristics of the Northern Alentejo region. In contrast to the Herdade do Esporão Virgin Extra, which is made from a blend of different olive varieties, the DOP Norte Alentejano is primarily produced from the Galega, Cobrançosa, and Blanqueta varieties.
The DOP Norte Alentejano is characterized by a yellowish-green color and an aroma of ripe fruits with notes of apple and nuts. In taste, it is soft, sweet, and lightly spicy, with a nutty finish. The maximum acidity of this olive oil is 0.2%, indicating high quality and careful processing.
In summary, the two olive oils differ in the composition of the olive varieties used and their sensory profiles, leading to unique tasting experiences.
