Siurana | Local Olive Oil From Province of Tarragona, Spain | TasteAtlas

Siurana

Siurana is an extra-virgin olive oil obtained from Arbequina, Royal and Morrut olive varieties, produced in the Province of Tarragona, on the Mediterranean coast. The olives are harvested by hand and are immediately transferred to the oil mill in order to be cold pressed within 72 hours.


Depending on the time of harvesting, two types of Siurana are available on the market. When the olives are harvested early, Siurana is green and has a fruity flavor and bitter almondy aroma. If the olive oil is yellowish in color, then it is obtained from olives harvested later and tastes sweet.


It is a full-bodied oil with well-balanced flavors and has a pleasant scent of ripe olives.
