Valderrama’s organic Ocal extra virgin olive oil is a smooth, rich oil with an intensely fruity flavor reminiscent of apples and grapefruit, refreshingly grassy, almost artichoke-like undertones. It’s made of organic Ocal olives, mainly cultivated in the Córdoba and Sevilla, and has a delicate balance of fruity sweetness and slightly bitter overtones.
Spain is responsible for half of the world’s olive oil production. Spanish EVOO, much like the olives themselves, is distinctly fruity and nutty in flavor, with less bitter undertones compared to regular olive oil. These differences are dictated by the temperate climate of the Spanish Mediterranean region where most of its olives are grown. You can find plenty of stunning Spanish olive oils in our varied selection!
Valderrama is a family-owned brand that started in 1920 with the founding of an olive oil factory in Montilla. It specializes in producing high-quality Spanish EVOO using the revolutionary process of extraction that Jose Valderrama devised with the help of a mechanic. The process shortens the time period between harvesting and extraction down to 45 minutes, opening a whole new realm of possibilities of preserving flavors, nutrients, and aroma!
Organic Ocal EVOO by Valderrama is perfect for baking - it goes incredibly well in pastries - as well as for sous-vide cooking at low temperatures! There are also plenty of other intriguing combinations to be found in our online Spanish food store!
