The estate of the Valderrama family produces fine extra virgin olive oil of several varieties. They pride themselves in having developed a state of the art production regimen that minimizes the amount of time which lapses from the picking of the olive to the final product which has a remarkable acidity of less than .02%. It is almost literally from the tree to the bottle in a matter of hours. Purely unfiltered, you might think of Valderrama as fresh olive juice.
The Valderrama family has designed this attractive gift box in which are featured three of their favorite unfiltered extra virgin olive oils which appear in handsome naturally corked small amphora style decanters which could easily grace your dinner table, just as they are.
They have included a vial of their finest Pedro Ximenez sherry wine vinegar for you to enjoy. It is made from Pedro Ximenez grapes which have been allowed to remain on the vine until much of the original acidity has ripened into natural sugars.
The result is a full bodied sweet and tangy vinegar, which can be used interchangeably with any balsamic vinegar applications.
The olive oils the family has selected are all single fruit oils from olives of the same name:
-Arbequina - Notably fruity flavor, with a taste of sweet green grass, apple and a little nut (excellent for dressing fresh or grilled vegetables, rice and certain acid fruits such as natural pineapple, etc.)
-Hojiblanca - Very smooth flavor, a little sweet, with a touch of 'green wood' and oily 'aftertaste'. Specially recommended for gazpacho, tomato salad, meat, meat stews and blue fish.
-Picudo - Marked olive flavor, slightly spicy, with a little bitterness, nutty flavor and a very slight 'butter' touch. Highly appropriate for carpaccio, pasta and white or soft blue fish.
