When in Andalusia… taste the olive oil. 🫒🇪🇸
The countryside around Ronda is filled with olive groves, and getting to see how one of Spain’s most iconic ingredients goes from tree to table is such a fun part of experiencing this region.
We learned about the production process—from harvesting and pressing the olives to what actually makes an olive oil “extra virgin”—and, of course, finished with a tasting. And yes, there’s definitely a proper way to taste olive oil! Much like w**e, you start to notice the differences in aroma, intensity, bitterness and even a little peppery finish.
It’s one of those experiences I love adding to an itinerary because you’re not just sightseeing—you’re getting a little taste (literally!) of the culture and traditions that have shaped Andalusia for generations.
Just another reason to venture beyond Spain’s bigger cities. 🫒✨
