 Virgin olive oil is a natural fruit juice obtained from the olives only by physical means. Virgin olive oil keeps the aroma and flavor of the olives it has been made with. Each olive variety has a characteristic aroma and flavor that can be assessed through proper tasting.
If you are in Madrid, we propose you to participate in an Olive Oil Tasting Session tutored by an expert, Santiago Botas, followed by a full lunch or dinner at prestigious restaurant "El Olivo", specialized in Mediterranean cuisine. You will enjoy different recipes coupled with the five varieties of extra virgin olive oil you have tasted before.
Santiago, internationally acknowledged olive oil expert, works since 1994 with the “Olive Oil Exporters Association of Spain” and also collaborates with the International Olive Oil Council, giving courses and conducting olive oil tastings all over the world. He will tutor your olive oil tasting and will share his knowledge with you during the meal.
Harry Debelius of The Times has said about El Olivo restaurant that “undoubtedly earned its Michelin star as result of meticulous attention to detail”. According to Wine & Food Companion: “Hallelujah, we’ve been listening to the right mouths. All chic, smart elegance on the design and service front, El Olivo scores high on the gustatory charts as well.” Patricia Wells said at Herald International Tribune: “El Olivo, devoted to chef owner Jean Pierre Vandelle’s passion for olive oil, uses the golden liquid as a serious foundation… I found Vandelle’s food exciting, stimulating and widely creative”.

I wanted to write and tell you how much my mom and her sister's enjoyed
their trip to Spain. The driver was OUTSTANDING. They were so impressed
with him that they went on and on about how great he was. The Paradores
were lovely for them and they really enjoyed every day of the trip...
