Villanueva del Arzobispo
Oleoteca Los Albacares, located in Villanueva del Archbishop, is an almazara with a large extension of olive trees. The guided tour allows you to discover how the olive is transformed into extra virgin olive oil, showing both traditional and modern techniques of extraction and grinding. Throughout the course, participants will know the process of making "liquid gold" and its secrets. The experience continues with an oil tasting, where you learn to evaluate the quality of extra virgin olive oil by its aroma, taste and texture, identifying attributes such as fruit, bitterness and spice, as well as possible defects. This activity allows to appreciate the differences between the varieties of olives and oils. It is possible to complete the experience with an extra virgin olive oil pairing with local products from the saw. Different varieties of oil are combined with cheeses, for example, a cured cheese with a soft oil and a tender cheese with a more powerful oil, to find out which oils best accompany each type of food. A perfect experience for lovers of gastronomy and olive oil.
