Oro del Desierto Coupage is an organic extra virgin olive oil produced by the family-run mill Oro del Desierto in Tabernas, Almería. In contrast to their monovarietal oils, this blend combines different olive varieties to achieve a unique profile in which intensity, freshness, aromatic complexity, and balance complement one another.
The olive groves are located in the unique setting of the Tabernas Desert, an area with a particularly dry climate and high sun exposure. Careful management of the fruit and its processing at the mill itself result in an organic extra virgin olive oil that reflects both the character of the olives used and the unique features of this region in Almería.
Sensory-wise, it stands out for its complex fruitiness, where green and ripe sensations coexist. Notes of freshly cut grass, tomato, and almond are perceived alongside various fruity nuances. On the palate, it has a pleasant entry and evolves toward well-balanced bitterness and pungency, displaying more structure than oils with a particularly mild profile. The finish is clean, aromatic, and long-lasting.
Its balanced character makes Oro del Desierto Coupage a very versatile EVOO for everyday use. It can be enjoyed raw on bread, salads, and vegetables, as well as accompanying rice dishes, pasta, legumes, fish, and meat. It is a great choice for those seeking an organic oil with personality, yet balanced enough to be used in a wide variety of dishes.
