TerraMater Early Harvest extra virgin olive oil is produced from the season's first olives in Chile's fertile Curicó Valley—well known for its premium wine estates. First cold pressed, TerraMater is lightly filtered and bottled after only twelve hours of decantation. This short turn-around time allows TerraMater to offer a maximum acidity at bottling of 0.19%. This produces a young oil of complexity and character: bitter, spicy, but well-balanced with a grassy, earthy-green color. The flavor is herbal with a sensation of artichoke, celery, green tomato and pepper, with nut and almond notes.
TerraMater means Mother Earth or “Pachamama” in the native language of South America. The word represents soul, life, and fertility which Pre-Columbian natives used to express gratitude for the fruits of the earth at harvest time. With Chile's April harvest period, TerraMater is able to release a fresh, verdant and versatile oil for enjoyment with Spring, Summer, and Fall seasonal foods in North America.
