Darmmess Souris extra virgin olive oil is created from ancient high-altitude trees. Some of the trees are up to 2000 years old in southern Lebanon. The care and dedication that goes into creating this oil is significant. The team, led by Rose, work hard throughout the year to produce this beautiful product. This is a very early harvest oil, this year they started harvesting at the end of September to ensure high phenolic content and oil stability.
It is packed with flavour, artichoke, fresh herbs and grassy aromas that flow into a bright bitter green flavour profile. Tomato leaf, basil, mint and green almond, along with bitter arugula and fresh creamy artichoke are present. Those flavours roll into a spicy red pepper and capsicum finish that lingers.
Being so bold, this Darmmess Souris extra virgin olive oil would be delicious with roasted chicken and potatoes. Perfect with a chicken parmesan, served with pasta or any root vegetable. Bean salads or roasted vegetable salad would also be delicious. Goat cheese or thick creamy labneh topped with this oil, mopping up with fresh bread would be simple yet incredible. Grilled meats, especially on the barbecue would absolutely be enhanced with a marinade or just a finishing drizzle of this luscious olive oil.
The bottle is packed with great details, both sensory and chemistry analysis. It’s rare to find a bottle with so much detail, and the oil inside matches the intentionally of the outer label.
