Deortegas Frantoio Organic EVOO - ElOlivo review:
We just call this oil “tutti fruity”. It is an amazingly fruity oil with a slight bite at the end. For us, the most amazing is sour cherry with floral note aromas. You will also feel some green apple and green almond when you smell the oil. In the mouth, the fruitiness continues with a bit stronger presence of green apple and dried fruits. We only use it raw. One of our favourite oil for dressing any salads, dipping with cheese plates. We think it is perfect for finishing every vegetable dish. We strongly recommend this oil, it is just amazing.
Deortegas Arbequina Organic EVOO - ElOlivo review:
This is a delicate EVOO with amazingly fresh green aromas such as banana, apple and almond. It is sweet and well balanced with a slight spiciness at the end. We were amazed by the fresh aromas of this oil, this is what makes this EVOO exceptional. We use it only raw, for dressing salads, soups or making sauces. We also tried it with our homemade Basque Cheese Cake and it was delicious. We use also this oil for making Basil Pesto. Pairs perfectly with the pine nuts and the Grana Padano.
Deortegas Cornicabra EVOO - ElOlivo review:
This is an exceptional quality olive oil full of surprises. In terms of aromas, it is a fine and delicate oil with fruity hints of green tomato, apple, banana and green almond with notes of basil. At tasting for it was surprisingly sweet and harmonious followed by the classic distinguished pungency and bitterness of the cornicabra variety. We drizzle this oil on our roast potatoes, tomato and goat cheese salad. This oil is also ideal for cooking, we make our stews and casserole with this oil. Exceptional quality, warmly recommended.

One of the best monovarietal hojiblanca organic olive oil. Beautiful green aromas, artichoke, green banana, freshly cut grass. In the mouth extremely balanced pungency and bitterness. At the tasting, you will also notice a slight green almond. We use it only raw to dress our salads or any veg or fish dishes. The packaging of the oil is also beautiful and it comes with a gift box.
