Priego de Córdoba, Spain · 75% Hojiblanca, 25% Picuda
Venta Del Baron
This oil comes from the PDO region of Priego de Córdoba in the Sierra de La Subbética Cordobesa national park. The highly awarded Venta Del Baron describes the taste as sweet with a progressively bitter and spicy aftertaste, with intense fruitiness and aromas of herbs and mint. This seems like a balanced oil for all purposes with healthy quality signals in both free FFA <0.2 and polyphenols.
