Herriza de la Lobilla Organic Lechín & Acebuche 500 ml is an organic extra virgin olive oil that combines Lechín olives with fruit from the acebuche, the wild Mediterranean olive tree. Produced by Herriza de la Lobilla in Osuna, Seville, this EVOO represents a distinctive offering among premium Andalusian olive oils. Its composition brings together the character of a traditional variety and the personality of the acebuche, offering an alternative for those looking to discover different flavors and appreciate the diversity of Spain’s olive-growing heritage.
The Lechín de Sevilla variety is part of Andalusia’s olive-growing history and is known for its ability to adapt to the local conditions. The acebuche (Olea europaea var. sylvestris), meanwhile, is the wild form of the olive tree, found naturally across many Mediterranean landscapes. Its fruit is generally small, and it is less commonly used to make olive oil than cultivated varieties. The combination of these two types of olive gives this EVOO a distinctive identity, closely connected to the vegetation and agricultural traditions of southern Spain.
On the palate, this oil has a fruity, vegetal, aromatic profile, with notes that may evoke fresh grass, green olives, wild plants, and nuts. It has an expressive initial taste, followed by herbaceous sensations and a balance of bitterness and pungency. The combination of Lechín and acebuche makes for a distinctive oil whose appeal lies in the variety of nuances offered by the two olives. Its persistent vegetal finish is especially appealing to those who enjoy characterful olive oils.
In cooking, Herriza de la Lobilla Lechín & Acebuche is particularly recommended for use raw, so its aromatic qualities can be fully appreciated. It pairs beautifully with artisan bread, tomatoes, salads, roasted vegetables, and aged cheeses. It also goes well with mushrooms, legumes, grilled meats, and traditional Andalusian dishes. Its vegetal character can add depth to vegetable soups, stews, and dishes made with intensely flavored ingredients. Presented in a 500 ml bottle, it makes an appealing choice for tastings and gourmet gifts, as well as for anyone looking to explore organic oils made with traditional varieties and wild olives.
