Monteoliva Oro Premium
Monteoliva Oro Premium is a monovarietal Hojiblanca EVOO from Córdoba. It has an intense aroma of green olives, freshly cut grass and olive leaves with hints of apple, banana, green almond, green tomato, fresh lettuce and arugula. It finishes off with a bouquet of aromatic herbs. On the palate, it offers a retro-nasal fruitiness reminiscent of apple. Its entry is very fluid with a medium and balanced spiciness and bitterness. Overall, it is a harmonious and extremely persistent EVOO.
Where to Find Founded in 1949 by a small group of farmers, the Virgen de la Sierra de Cabra Olive Growers Cooperative has slightly more than 1,000 members, with olive groves distributed across small farms in the Subbética Cordobesa region. Heir to a rich olive-growing tradition, Cabra is considered the geographical center of Andalusia. Its EVOOs are obtained from a wide variety of olives, sold under the brands Monteoliva and Monteoliva Oro, the latter of which includes the Baena PDO.
