Oro del Desierto Arbequina is an organic extra virgin olive oil made exclusively from Arbequina olives at the Oro del Desierto estate, located in Tabernas, Almería. The olive groves thrive in an arid environment with low rainfall, which characterizes the production of this family-run mill.
Arbequina is known for producing mild, fragrant oils with a distinct presence of fruity aromas. In this monovarietal, Oro del Desierto seeks to preserve the freshness of the olive and obtain a balanced EVOO that showcases the most delicate and accessible side of this variety.
On the nose, it presents a pleasant and expressive fruitiness, with notes reminiscent of apple and banana, accompanied by hints of almond and light herbaceous sensations. On the palate, it is smooth and fluid, with a slightly sweet entry and a practically imperceptible bitterness. The spiciness appears subtly at the end, adding balance and freshness to the whole.
Its delicate character makes it a very versatile oil, especially when you want to enrich a dish without overpowering its main flavors. It is ideal for toast, mild salads, fish, vegetables, pasta, and sauces, and is also very interesting in baking as an alternative to other fats.
