In Miguelturra, a charity olive oil tasting put the finishing touch on the gastronomic cycle of the Province Day. The event, which highlighted Manchego cheese, achieved notable citizen participation. The initiative aimed to raise funds for local causes, combining the promotion of regional products with a gesture of community support. Attendees enjoyed a cultural experience while contributing to those who need it most.
Cold extraction technology enhances the flavor of local olive oil 🫒
The oils tasted came from mills that use cold extraction systems, a process that maintains the organoleptic properties of the fruit. Through low-temperature centrifugation, the degradation of polyphenols and fatty acids is avoided. This method, controlled by pressure and temperature sensors, guarantees a final product with reduced acidity and intense aroma. Digital traceability allows the consumer to know the exact origin of the olive, from the tree to the bottle.
Tasters with fine noses and grateful stomachs 😂
Between sips of olive oil, one attendee mistook the tasting glass for a shot of herbal liqueur, causing a facial reaction worthy of a meme. Others debated whether Manchego cheese tasted better with bread or with a little patience to avoid gobbling it all up before the final toast. In the end, solidarity overcame hunger, and the fundraising was as rich as the fruit of the olive tree.
