French Farm 16.9 oz Mueloliva Venta Baron Extra Virgin Olive Oil

This unique extra virgin olive oil takes its name from the legend of Baron Santaella. After Baron Santaella murdered his wife in a jealous rage, king Enrique III sentenced him to build the Malmuerta tower. His progeny, dispossessed of the baronetcy, settled in the Sierra de Priego and devoted himself to the cultivation and care of the local olives, a dedication that lasted for generations. His efforts produced a fruity extra virgin olive oil of extraordinary quality. Once the king tasted this extraordinary product, he decided to restore the title of nobility.

Since 1998, Venta del Baron EVOO has received 80 awards in 8 different countries including 'World's Best Olive Oil' by the International Olive Council as well as 'Spain's Best Extra Virgin Olive Oil' from the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture.

Made with cold-pressed Hojiblanca (75%) and Picuda (25%) olives from the Priego de Cordorba region, it has an intense fruitiness with green olive herbal notes, peppermint, banana, almonds, and apple. Initial tasting is slightly sweet, bitter, and spicy (reminiscent of tomatoes and artichokes) with a nutty aftertaste. Venta del Baron is a highly complex oil with a long finish.

Balanced and harmonious in all its olfactory and gustatory attributes, this oil is appropriatly served with rustic bread, seasonal salads, soups, vegetables, grilled fish, and any complex dish.

Each bottle contains 17 fl oz (500 ml) of Venta del Baron Hojiblanca and Picuda Extra Virgin Olive Oil DOP.
