About this variety

Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the Loaime variety, primarily grown in the Granada region, stands out for its complex flavor profile. It boasts a intense and aromatic fruitiness, with notes of thyme and Mediterranean herbs, and a smooth and balanced bitterness. Its moderate and pleasant spiciness makes it perfect for enjoying raw or in salads. The Loaime variety is ideal for accompanying traditional Andalusian dishes, such as paella or omelette, and also pairs well for marinating meats and vegetables before cooking. Its origin in the Poniente-Granada DOP makes it a true reflection of the region's gastronomic richness.
