Pour a little of this on warm bread and you'll get it instantly. It's bright, green and properly alive, the kind of olive oil that makes you do a double-take after years of the flat supermarket stuff. There's a fresh-cut-grass smell, a snap of pepper at the back of your throat, and a fruitiness that doesn't quit. Keep a bottle near the stove and one more for the table, because the table one disappears fast.
First hit is green and garden-fresh, like just-mown grass and a snapped green almond. It's fruity rather than greasy, with a clean, leafy bite that comes from picking the olives early while they're still green. Then the finish kicks in: a gentle peppery tickle right at the back of the throat that might even make you cough a little. That little pepper-burn is a good sign, it's the fresh antioxidants talking. Mellow bitterness, no rancid or flat notes anywhere.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
It's Tunisian, and the name is a flex. Bulla Regia was an ancient Roman-era city in Tunisia that shipped olive oil across the empire, so this oil is named after one of the original olive-oil powerhouses. The modern bottle comes from a family-run producer (the Malga Group, going since 1973) that picks the olives early, presses them fresh and bottles under nitrogen to keep it tasting like the day it was made. Tunisia quietly makes some of the best olive oil on the planet, and this is a tidy little proof.
