Olive Oil Tasting Collection

6 Olive Oils

Selected by Tasting Collection.

Knolive - Epicure

Spain

Knolive was named one of the best and most successful olive oil producers in the world in 2018. Their olive groves are in the heart of the Subbética National Park in Spain, where a sea of olive trees surround La Tiñosa, the highest peak in the province of Córdoba. The harvest is carried out manually, because mechanical picking is near impossible on such rugged terrain. The Knolive Epicure is an extra virgin olive oil with a world class reputation, made by a world class producer.

Chateau d'Estoublon - Salonenque

France

The house Chateau d' Estoublon is located in Vallée des Baux in Provence, France. Since 1731 they have been making olive oil and wine here. In the valley, many olive trees grow, 60% of which the green Salonenque olive occupies. Estoublon harvests the olives early in November, when they are well ripe. This gives a nice first-pressure with a fresh, buttery taste. This oil fits perfectly with steamed vegetables, tartar, carpaccio and is very surprising with a bowl of ice cream.

Pons - Primum Oleum

Spain

Casa Pons is located in the small northern Spanish village of L' Albagés, where this family has been making olive oil in a traditional way since 1945. In October, the gentle picking of the small green Arbequina olive groves begins; a true harvest party. The olives are cold pressed immediately after picking. This first oil is very limited and very popular. A fantastic oil with soft flavours of nuts and fruit. Ideal for a salad or sprinkled over meat or fish.

Galantino - Gran Cru

Italy

This limited edition Italian extra virgin olive oil from the Puglia region is the best olive oil from the olive grove of the Galantino estate. It is a grand cru because it is obtained only from olives harvested on the Galantino family's own estate. Everything is done by hand, from harvesting, production, to pressing with the traditional granite mill; from cold extraction to packaging in numbered bottles after a rigorous organoleptic test. Limited to 5000 bottles per year.

Franci - Frantoio DOP

Italy

In the 50s, Fernando Franci bought the historic Tuscan olive grove Villa Magra together with his brother Franco. In 1995 Giorgio, the son of Fernando entered the company in 1995. That was the beginning of a series of very special olive oils. In 1997, for the first time he made the Olivastra Seggianes; a soft, virgin olive oil of one olive variety. An aromatic, fruity olive oil, which is very suitable for salads of vegetables and white meat.

Rincón - Subbética

Spain

An award-winning organic olive oil from Cordoba, southern Spain. This oil is made from 100% Hojiblanca olives, organically grown, picked and pressed on the first day of harvesting. Rincón olive oil comes from a collaboration between Virgen del Castillo and Nazareno and was first released in 2007. The oil was chosen as the best in the world in 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017. Spicy, fruity and intense, very suitable for meat, oily fish and all kinds of salads.
