DIRECT MADRID VISIT OLIVA OLIVA

Live tasting in the largest extra virgin olive oil store in all of Spain

On February 17, the team of Madrid Direct traveled to the Prosperidad neighborhood to enter Olive olive, considered the largest extra virgin olive oil store in all of Spain.

The reporter J. Manuel Carpintero, accompanied by Eduardo Munoz, CEO of Oliva Oliva, was able to enjoy a unique tasting of extra virgin olive oils. “What is the variety of oil that is most consumed in the Community of Madrid?” the journalist asked Eduardo. "Variety cornicabra”, he replied. 

Indeed, the cornicabra variety is characteristic of the central zone of Spain, being especially present in the provinces of Madrid, Toledo and Ciudad Real. In addition, cornicabra olive oil is considered one of the healthiest due to its high polyphenol content.

This variety of oil is distinguished by its greenish-yellow color and is characterized by having a intense and very particular flavor, with aromas of artichoke, green leaves or apple. In the mouth, it stands out for its bitterness and for a slightly more intense itching.

Despite the fact that Carpintero was willing to carry out a tasting of extra virgin olive oils and bread, Eduardo wanted to show originality and invited the journalist from Madrid Directo to accompany the different Olive Oils with fruits such as banana, orange, pear or the kiwi. So they both enjoyed a gourmet experience of the most particular.

These were the olive oils that they tasted and that you can find in Olive olive:
