Oro del Desierto Lechín is an organic extra virgin olive oil made exclusively from the Lechín olive variety. It comes from the Oro del Desierto olive groves in Tabernas, Almería, a unique territory due to its arid climate, numerous hours of sunshine, and the particular conditions in which the olive grove develops.
Lechín is a traditional variety from southern Spain that produces oils with an interesting combination of freshness, intensity, and complexity. At Oro del Desierto, they work to preserve these qualities from the field to the mill, resulting in a monovarietal that allows one to discover a variety less common than Picual or Arbequina.
Its sensory profile is marked by a fresh fruitiness that is mainly green. Herbaceous and leaf sensations appear, accompanied by hints of almond and different fruity nuances. On the palate, it offers a pleasant and balanced entry, followed by bitter and spicy notes of moderate intensity. The whole is harmonious and leaves a persistent finish.
Oro del Desierto Lechín is an excellent option for those looking to discover monovarietal EVOO with its own personality. It can be enjoyed raw on bread and toast, salads and vegetables, as well as accompanying fish, white meats, legumes, and pasta dishes. Its balance allows it to add character to recipes without being excessively dominant.
