Venta del Barón, olive oil with DOP certificate
Founded by Mateo Muela Velasco in 1942, the Venta del Barón family business is now in its third generation and is a successful representative of a gourmet oil that has won awards worldwide. The success story begins more than 70 years ago, when Mateo decided to prioritize quality over quantity in the production of his olive oil. Son and grandson have remained true to this credo to this day and only use fresh, green olives from the first harvest for the high-quality Venta del Barón olive oil.
The resulting lower oil yield is compensated by a unique taste experience. Cultivated and cared for according to old traditions, harvested by hand and carefully cold-pressed with state-of-the-art machines, the result is an olive juice that can hardly be surpassed in terms of aroma variety and complexity. Years of experience, excellent specialist knowledge and a high level of physical commitment also contribute to the success of this culinary treat, as does the warming sun of Spain.
Because the finca in the heart of Andalusia belongs to the municipality of Priego de Córdoba. Located on a fertile plain at the foot of the Sierra Subbética, the olive trees of Venta del Barón thrive in the mild summer and winter climate.
Olive oil with protected designation of origin
DOP, Denominación de origen protegida Priego de Córdoba, the round seal in yellow and red not only indicates that only fruits from the region of the same name are used for this high-quality olive oil. The processing of the olives and the production of the oil must also take place in Priego de Córdoba. At the same time, it is a seal of quality whose conditions are strictly controlled. In addition to the protected designation of origin, the certificate also ensures that it is an extra virgin olive oil.
The DOP certificate helps you as a consumer to recognize a high-quality olive oil. You have the guarantee that the harvested fruit has not been transported over long distances, which would favor oxidation and result in a deterioration in quality. If, as with the Venta del Barón olive oil, the olives are ground immediately after harvesting in the nearby oil mill and the finished oil is immediately filled into large stainless steel tanks, contact with oxygen is so minimal that neither the valuable ingredients nor the wonderful aromas of the fresh, green olives are lost.
Venta del Barón olive oil, the best of the best
Once the freshly harvested fruit has been cold pressed in the oil mill, the olive juice has to rest for 15 days to decant naturally. Only then is the high-quality "Oleum ex Albis Ulivis" (oil from green olives) ready. Since neither heat nor water was added during the entire manufacturing process, it contains the same valuable ingredients and wonderful aromas as the fresh olives on the tree.
Because this unique quality does not remain hidden from the experienced palate of a specialist jury, the Venta del Barón olive oil has already received over 100 prizes and awards:
- World’s best Olive Oils
- Flos Olei
- The German Der Feinschmecker Olive Award
- Sol d’Oro
- Montiferru
- Oleosur
- and many others
Venta del Barón olive oil with exclusive flavors
Venta del Barón's carefully composed coupage consists of extra virgin olive oil of the Picudo variety and extra virgin olive oil of the Hojiblanca variety. Both types of olive score with unique aromas and are particularly widespread in Andalusia. While the picudo olive, with its high fat yield, is mainly used for the production of olive oil, the less productive hojiblanca can also be found as a table olive in many Spanish dishes.
The harmonious and complex Venta del Barón olive oil delights the nose and palate with the wonderful aromas of the two sun-kissed olive varieties. Sweet, tart, slightly bitter and with a mild spiciness, the top-class olive juice inspires olive oil novices and connoisseurs alike. Because both the scent of freshly mown grass, aromatic herbs and local fruits such as apples and almonds, as well as the aroma of southern vegetables such as tomatoes and artichokes are combined in the incomparable coupage. Venta del Barón offers you exclusivity that you can enjoy every day.
