Guided extra virgin olive oil tastings with Mercedes Uceda, professional taster, at Oleoteca Molino & Cata in the historic centre of Granada, next to Plaza de la Trinidad, 3 minutes from the Cathedral.
In a 90-minute tasting you'll sample between 5 and 8 extra virgin olive oils of varieties such as Picual from Jaén —intense, herbaceous and with aromas reminiscent of summer gardens—, Arbequina —soft, sweet and fruity—, Hojiblanca with its characteristic chilli-pepper pungency, and rare varieties such as Pajarera or Fulla de Salze that are harder to find.
