Cindy,
Thanks for your input. Our California Mission olive from our most recent harvest in December tends to be very high in polyphenols and does finish with a higher pepper note than most. As we have classified it as a Robust EVOO, I would suggest our California Arbequina which we harvested a few days before but has a little milder flavor profile and although a little less in polyphenol count still is in the upper 500 range which we think is great. We are currently in love with it on salads and pasta.
