Characteristics
It is a very special Extra Virgin Olive Oil, with unique aromas from the land of Puente Genil. It is smooth on the palate and slightly bitter and pungent. This Olive Oil is obtained from olives, mostly of the Hojiblanca variety, cultivated in a traditional way and made only by mechanical processes. With an acidity of 0.2, it makes it an extraordinary Oil.
We leave you some opinions from our customers:
”I have tried all the oils from Mi Oliva Gourmet, since I have been a customer since you started and I will continue to be, but I have to say that I just bought this type and I loved it. I like its colour, density , smell and especially its flavour. Despite being a filtered oil, I have to say that it has a lot of flavour, but at the same time it is elegant and delicate. I loved it! Congratulations because you have wonderful oils, of excellent quality. Thank you very much!!!”
”Another great success coming from the olive groves of Puente Genil, I haven’t had this oil for a long time, it reminds us of the old artisanal mill oils that have finally made this product famous. Highly recommended for use in cooking, and raw to give a soft touch to salads, etc… without losing that characteristic flavour.”
We bring you a documentary from 1968 on Extra Virgin Olive Oil, from the Filmoteca Española, made by NODE. This documentary contains really interesting passages of how Olive Oil was produced at the end of the 70’s. This was almost 50 years ago!
When you see this short documentary you will be amazed, not without a certain nostalgia, by the images and, of course, by the background music that the day laborers sang during the harvest.
I also leave you some images for the memory that I have loved. The landscape has changed a lot today. The day laborers are usually foreigners from Eastern European countries, but if you have been on a harvest day, I don’t know what the Olive Grove will have, that camaraderie is still alive and the taste for good work and the care of the Olive Tree.
In this image, we see the day laborers shaking an olive tree. Today there is specialized machinery that makes the harvesting process possible in less time, but the harvesters are still shaking the olive tree to make every last olive fall. It is an art to shake the Olive Tree trying to do the least damage possible!
