Venchipa

Venchipa Olive Oil

Venchipa olive oil, often marketed under the O-Med brand, is an Extra Virgin olive oil from Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It is distinguished by the family business’s control over the entire process, from olive harvesting to bottling.

Venchipa produces early harvest olive oils, which give them a richness of aromas and flavors. While they may offer different single varieties, it is common to find their Arbequina and Picual varieties.

Venchipa’s Arbequina is smooth and delicate, with fruity notes reminiscent of apple and green banana, and a very subtle bitterness and spiciness. It is ideal for fish, fruit salads, and baking.

On the other hand, its Picual is more intense, with a green fruitiness of freshly cut grass, tomato plants, and green almonds, with a persistent but balanced bitterness and spiciness. This profile makes it suitable for meats, gazpachos, and tomato salads.

In general, Venchipa (O-Med) oils are characterized by their freshness, complexity of flavors, and a bright golden-green color. These are oils that strive for the highest quality and express the essence of Granada’s olive groves.
