The Oliva La Fermentada Daily Edition was created to highlight the expert craft of tobacco fermentation. The Oliva family has been perfecting this art since 1886, and today they’re better at it than just about anyone. La Fermentada features an array of notes that include cedar, almonds, vanilla, baking spices, white pepper, and a vibrant sweetness. Here at Cigars Daily, we’re proud to call this a Daily Edition blend! On tobacco fermentation: The process of fermenting tobacco is quite a bit different than it is with alcohol. While the spirits industry focuses on converting sugars to alcohol, expert cigar makers, like Oliva, create pilones (2000 lb stacks of tobacco), which naturally heat up to off-gas ammonia and allow flavor characteristics from seed, soil, and sun exposure to shine through in the finished profile. The quality of fermentation is one of the key parts of the cigar making process that sets some brands apart from others. La Fermentada features Oliva’s expertly fermented tobaccos, hand crafted into a complex blend that offers clean brilliant flavor across the palate.
