Deortegas Sexta Esencia Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (500 ml) - Picual, Cornicabra & Hojiblanca Blend

Producer’s note: “We wanted to create an oil that feels honest, expressive, and alive - something that reflects both our land and the emotion behind every harvest.” This new EVOO is a reflection of both what we grow and what we feel. A blend of our Hojiblanca, Picual, and Cornicabra olives, brought together to create something balanced, elegant, and full of character. Rich and vibrant from the first taste, with a smooth structure where the bitterness and peppery notes build gently and naturally, adding depth without overpowering. Expect fresh green flavours, vegetal notes, and a lightly spiced finish that lingers beautifully. Perfect with grilled vegetables, salads, fish, white meats, legumes, or any dish where great olive oil should elevate the flavour, not hide it. Sexta Esencia was created to surprise, to tell a different story, and to turn tasting olive oil into something truly special. Early harvest. Cold extracted. Sustainably produced with deep respect for nature. Picual variety: The Picual olives are one of the most cultivated varieties of Spain. The olive oil extracted from Picual olives has a medium aromatic profile with pleasant notes of tomato, fig tree, olive leaf, and freshly cut grass. Its oil is also well known for its strong bitter- and spiciness. It is often mixed with other oil to soften its bitterness and enhance its fruity flavor. Thanks to its stability the olive oil extracted from Picual olive has a long shelf life and makes it stable for cooking or frying. Cornicabra variety: The oil extracted from Cornicabra olives has a high content of Oleocanthal. Typical aromas: green leaves, tomato and almond. Early harvested Cornicabra oil is intensively spicy and bitter. If the olives are harvested later in the season the oil can be more forgiving, sweet with notes of exotic fruits just as avocado. As it is a stable oil it is suitable for cooking and frying. Hojiblanca variety: Hojiblanca is the third most popular variety in Spain in terms of corp area. The provinces of Andalusia play a key role in Hojoblnca olive cultivation. Hojiblanca olives are used both for the production of table olives and olive oil. Olive Oil made from the Hojiblanca variety has a pleasant aroma of cut grass, fresh fruit with hints of almond, tomato and apple. The Olive Oil made from the Hojiblanca variety has intense fruitiness, slightly bitter, sweet and spicy.

ElOlivo review: Deortegas’ “Sexta Esencia” - meaning “Sixth Essence” - is much more than just an olive oil for the family. It represents their land, their roots, and their deep connection to it. And honestly, this oil truly lives up to its name. It opens with beautiful green aromas of green tomato, fresh olives, artichoke, and green almond. On the palate, those vibrant vegetal notes continue with a lovely almond finish. The bitterness and peppery spice are beautifully balanced, giving the oil character while keeping it elegant and smooth. Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? It also comes in a stunning, beautifully detailed box that makes the whole experience feel even more special. Everything that leaves the Deortegas farm is crafted with care, beauty, and incredible flavour - and this oil is no exception. We recommend enjoying it raw to truly appreciate its complexity: over salads, with bread, vegetables, poultry, red meat, or honestly almost anything. It has a way of elevating every dish. Enjoy!
