Grown in a unique valley between northern Cáceres and southern Salamanca, Manzanilla Cacereña extra virgin olive oil is famous for its intense, bitter, spicy and fruity flavour. Its high oleic acid content makes it a healthy and delicious option to enhance any dish.
Here we explain the reasons in detail:
This is a very high quality olive oil obtained directly from our own olive trees using mechanical processes and without the use of heat or chemical additives.
This process guarantees that the oil retains all its nutritional properties, as well as its characteristic flavour and aroma.
The juice of the manzanilla cacereña variety olives is of high quality, harvested at veraison (optimum ripening point) and presents a balance between spicy, bitter and sweet.
High green fruitiness reminiscent of freshly cut grass, green apple, fruit salad and tomato, making this oil a real perfume to dress our best dishes and delight your guests.
High concentration of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid of the omega 9 series. In olive oil in general, concentrations are between 55 and 80% and in the case of manzanilla cacereña we find values between 78 and 85%.
Oleic acid has a beneficial effect on the blood vessels, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. It is especially recommended for raw consumption, salads, fish or as part of a good breakfast.
Manzanilla cacereña extra virgin olive oil is much more than just a simple ingredient.
Discover how its antioxidant properties, its oleic acid content and its other surprising benefits>> can improve your health and your dishes.
The manufacturing process of ERA MATEA® begins with the harvesting of the olives in mid-October, before they are fully ripe, in order to obtain a higher quality.
This is carried out manually or by means of mechanical systems that do not damage the fruit.
The olives are then transported with optimum hygiene and in the shortest possible time to avoid fermentation.
Once in the mill, the olives are carefully cleaned and ground using advanced technology.
The olive paste obtained is blended to facilitate the extraction of the oil, maintaining a temperature that does not exceed 30°C. In this way, undesirable changes in the flavour and aroma of the final product are avoided.
In order to preserve the exceptional characteristics of our EVOO, we store it in stainless steel containers. Maintaining a stable and mild temperature environment, in a place without light and free of alterations.
