Olive Oil Tastings in Granada

Guided extra virgin olive oil tastings with Mercedes Uceda, professional olive oil 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 will taste between 5 and 8 extra virgin olive oils from varieties such as Picual from Jaen — intense, herbaceous, with aromas reminiscent of a summer garden —, Arbequina — smooth, sweet and fruity —, Hojiblanca with its characteristic chilli-like pungency, and rare varieties such as Pajarera or Fulla de Salze that are harder to find.
