Have you ever tasted real olive oil?

Tasting quality olive oil is a great experience, but there is a lot of poor quality olive oil on the market. How can you be sure that you are getting the best?

Our certified Sommelier will help you taste and learn about the differences in olive oil. And our Cooking Advisor will offer you the opportunity to discover some amazing recipes.

Quality olive oil depends on the region and soil where the olives are produced. Olive oil is judged based on taste. Experts screen for defects to ensure that the oil isn’t “grubby”, that there are no insect larvae in the final products after the olives are pressed.

A sensory experience is enjoyable. Join us for a tasting!

In addition to Oro del Desierto recommended products, we will introduce you to a variety of different brands and products from different production regions for you to compare in taste and flavour.

The purpose of the event is to help you discover your favourite olive oil to enjoy!

Production: Cold extraction 2 phases. Only with early harvested olives, 95% still green. First week of harvest in October.

Number of bottles: 8000 units. Only 200 units are annually allocated to the Japanese market.

Formats: 500ml customized bottle, individual box packaging for every bottle to protect it from light.

Varieties: Arbequina 40% and Picual 60%

Zone of production: Finca el Vicario, Desierto de Tabernas (Almería) Spain.

Flavour / Taste: Dark green cloudy colour, typical from the unfiltered fresh olive oil**. Its aroma is exceptionally intense and fresh with notes of green grass, tomato, apple and almond. Astringent flavour with bitter and spicy touches which will be less intense as the oil changes and decants during the first weeks. Good balance between aroma and flavour, the 2 varieties combined for this blend make a perfect combination.

Recommendations for use: Pair this oil with fresh goat cheese, green salads, sauces, tomato and garlic salads, toast or just simply put it on a dish and dip it with bread.

* Only 20 bottles are sold online in this season.
** The 2018 Edition of the 1/10 product is filtered.
