Deortegas Cornicabra 3L is an organic extra virgin olive oil produced by Deortegas in Yecla, Murcia. The mill operates under organic farming criteria and is committed to single-varietal oils as a way to showcase the distinct characteristics of different olive varieties.
This particular selection uses Cornicabra, a traditional Spanish variety that produces oils with a strong personality and good intensity. Its character offers an interesting alternative for those seeking an extra virgin olive oil with a more pronounced presence on the palate and a clearly vegetal profile.
Sensory-wise, it shows a fresh fruitiness with hints of grass, leaf, and other green nuances, accompanied by notes of nuts. On the palate, it has good structure and persistence, with a defined bitterness and a pungency that emerges progressively. The overall blend maintains a pleasant balance between freshness and intensity.
Deortegas Cornicabra is especially enjoyable raw on toast, tomatoes, salads, and vegetables. Its character also pairs very well with legumes, stews, meats, roasted vegetables, and flavorful cheeses. The 3-liter tin provides a convenient format for those who consume EVOO regularly and helps preserve its qualities by preventing direct exposure to light.
