The palate
A sip drawn with air. Bitterness and a peppery finish mean fresh, healthy oil.

Solemos comprar por su web donde hemos probado los excelentes aceites y otros productos que nos van sugiriendo, pero esta vez la experiencia ha sido aún mejor pudiendo visitar su tienda donde hemos probado y traído para casa Olalla Oliva y Finca Badenes. Todo un acierto dejarte aconsejar por Mercedes y Jero. Si pasáis por Granada no dejéis de acercaros a conocerles!! Además la tienda es preciosa!

Ese desayuno con tostada impregnada de picual que despierta los sentidos... Ese café de la tarde con hojiblanca, en rebanada, te da el empujón para finalizar el día. Bendito aceite que siempre me aconsejas Molina y Cata.

Questions, answered.
How do I book and pay?
Choose a date and time above, pick your language and any extras, and pay by card, Apple Pay or Bizum. Confirmation and your lab sheets arrive by email instantly.
Do I need to speak Spanish?
Not at all. This experience runs in Spanish or English — choose your language when you book.
What exactly is a blind tasting?
We serve each oil in the official cobalt-blue catavino, which hides its colour so you judge by aroma and flavour alone — the method professional panels use.
Where are you, and how do I get there?
The oleoteca is at C. Paz, 12, 18002 Granada — three minutes from the Cathedral, beside Plaza de la Trinidad. We send exact directions with your confirmation.
Can I buy the oils afterwards?
Always. Every oil is available in the oleoteca and online, and you can add a take-home bottle or a tasting kit to your booking.
