La Maja Coupage 500 ml with gift box is an extra virgin olive oil produced by Alfar La Maja, an oil mill located in Mendavia, Navarre. This producer stands out for its dedication to olive cultivation and for crafting oils that express the unique characteristics of the different varieties grown in its surroundings. Its coupage brings together various olives to offer a balanced, aromatic EVOO with a distinct personality.
The creation of a coupage allows for the combination of the qualities of several olive varieties, seeking harmony between aromas, flavors, and intensity. In the agricultural environment of Mendavia, olive cultivation benefits from the conditions of the Ebro Valley, an area where Mediterranean influence and a continental climate contribute to the development of fruits with distinct characteristics.
On the nose, it presents a fruity profile with hints of green olive, fresh grass, and almond, accompanied by delicate vegetal notes. On the palate, it is pleasant and structured, with a fruity entry, moderate bitterness, and a progressive spiciness that adds freshness. Overall, it offers a balanced combination of sensations, suitable for both tastings and daily gastronomic use.
It is especially recommended to be enjoyed raw on artisan bread, tomato, salads, and vegetables. It also pairs very well with fish, white meats, rice dishes, legumes, and cheeses. Its versatile character allows it to be used as a finishing touch for cream soups, roasted vegetables, and other Mediterranean recipes. Furthermore, its presentation in an individual gift box adds extra value for gifting, inclusion in gourmet hampers, or surprising fans of extra virgin olive oil.
