Widely regarded as one of the world's finest extra virgin olive oils, Venta del Barón is an award-winning expression of Andalusia's celebrated Priego de Córdoba D.O.P. Crafted from a harmonious blend of Picuda and Hojiblanca olives, this exceptional oil is cold extracted within hours of harvest to preserve its remarkable freshness and complexity. Brilliant green-gold in color, it opens with vibrant aromas of fresh herbs, peppermint, almond, banana, and green apple before revealing elegant notes of tomato and artichoke, finishing with a beautifully balanced touch of bitterness and pepper.
This extraordinary olive oil deserves to be enjoyed as a finishing oil, where its nuanced flavor can take center stage. Drizzle it over grilled fish, roasted vegetables, heirloom tomatoes, burrata, fresh salads, and artisan bread, or use it to elevate soups, pasta, and delicate Mediterranean dishes. Its vibrant fruitiness also makes it an exceptional companion to aged cheeses and cured Iberian ham.
Produced by Mueloliva in the heart of Andalusia's Sierras Subbéticas Natural Park, Venta del Barón is made exclusively from olives grown within the prestigious Priego de Córdoba D.O.P. The olives are cold crushed less than 15 hours after harvest, and only the finest oil is selected under the denomination's rigorous standards. Since its debut in 1998, Venta del Barón has earned more than 80 international awards, including recognition as the World's Best Olive Oil by the International Olive Council and Spain's Best Extra Virgin Olive Oil by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture.
