The Romans
arrived in Spain by this road to discover the country and called this city, The Capital of Hispanje; Tarracco at the
time. The Romans have left next to
the beach a genuine Amphitheatre with many historic buildings.
This city is on the list of Unesco, with the city wall, a circus, triumphal arch, amphitheatre and
many other buildings.
A
nice old city worth to look around with an afternoon lunch on the many squares in the old
part of Tarraco.

How do you taste olive oil?
![]() |
blue tasting glass to hide the colour for neutral tasting |
Of course
you taste with your tongue, but what and
who do you use them? On the tip of your tongue you taste sweet and drought
(tannin). In the middle on the sides of your tongue you taste sour, and back on
your tongue the bitters. Pepper feel in your throat, after you have swallowed it.
But we start first with The Smell; Warm the olive oil
extra Verge with your palm in a small tasting
glass, (a small regular glass is also okay) then slide quietly into your hands and
keep rolling the glass. The warmth of your hands given to the olive oil. 28
degrees is the optimum temperature for this, good to smell and taste, but, …
what do I smell? The primary fruit
aromas of the fresh olive, green, fruity, soft, elegant and round.
The Taste; then we take a sip, not too much at once, and
let it equally on your tongue "melt" and heat, and then swallow it.
Take some breath, for intensification of the taste. The secondary aromas fill
the fruit flavours such as; tomato, artichokes, basil, banana peel, vegetables,
fresh cut grass, almonds, walnuts.
This olive oil is generally well balanced,
complex and harmonious. But each year has its own characteristics, depending on
the weather and the conditions and the time of harvest. Fortunately, it remains
a purely natural product!
Pure 100 %
juice from the olives.
