Almazara PAGO DE VALDECUEVAS Olive Oil Mill

Olive Oil: Health and Glory for the Senses

LOCATION

Camino Buenaventura, s/n

47800 MEDINA DE RIOSECO – VALLADOLID

Coming into Medina de Rioseco on the N-601 from Valladolid, take a turnoff to the right just before you cross the bridge over the river Sequillo. The road is signposted.

Up on the high plains, from the hill where Valdecuevas lies, enjoy a very different landscape of vast horizons, something unimaginable in the big cities.

DESCRIPTION

Olive trees in Valladolid? Well, there are, and they produce one of the best olive oils in Spain. In the heart of the Tierra de Campos arises PAGO DE VALDECUEVAS, the dream of a family who pioneered the production of extra virgin olive oil of the highest quality in Castile and Leon.

We offer you a visit to an olive grove of over 150 hectares (c. 350 acres), where you can observe the olive varieties which produce a really special oil, full of fresh and fruity notes; go inside an ultramodern olive oil mill, where truly exceptional olive juice is extracted, and take part in a tasting in which you learn how to differentiate an extra virgin olive oil from one which is not.

A very entertaining and educational tour of the olive groves and the olive oil mill will begin to stimulate your senses, culminating in a unique tasting in a room with panoramic views over the olive groves. Follow us into the inner courtyard, the olive intake room, the processing hall, the storage room, the packaging / bottling hall and finally the tasting room, where you can appreciate the organoleptic characteristics of this jewel of an oil.

A fusion of Arbequina, Picual and Manzanilla Cacereña olives creates a unique blend, which you will have the opportunity to taste during your visit to Valdecuevas.
The quality of an olive oil is directly related to it being processed in the shortest possible time after picking.
