Lechin de Granada is one of those forgotten varieties. While Picual dominates and Arbequina takes over supermarkets, Lechin is only grown in Granada, Almeria and Murcia -- less than 3% of Spain's olive-growing area. It is a variety native to the Alpujarra of Granada, whose name comes from the milky appearance of the flesh. Finding an organic single-variety Lechin oil is a true rarity.
The Alonso family cultivates it on the El Vicario estate, in the Tabernas desert. Same organic certification since 1999, same extreme conditions of less than 180 mm of rain per year. Lechin has a high fat yield and an oleic acid content of 74-76%. The harvest is early and the milling is done with the utmost care.
La Lechín de Granada es una de esas variedades olvidadas, y encontrar un monovarietal ecológico es una rareza que merece atención. Este de Oro del Desierto tiene unas connotaciones especiadas que le dan un carácter propio —la almendra verde, la cáscara de plátano, las espinacas—, en boca es muy equilibrado, con esos matices a rúcula y madera verde, que dejan la boca fresca y agradable. Es el aceite que saco en las catas para demostrar que hay vida más allá de las variedades más conocidas.
