Aove manchego route (extra virgin olive oil)

Aove manchego route (extra virgin olive oil)

The province of Ciudad Real has three Olive Oil European Apellation of Origin: Montiel, Campo de Calatrava andMontes de Toledo. After the production of wine, the olive oil production is the most relevant in this area, specially in the South of the province.

 

La Mancha, well known for its largest plains full of vineyards, has also a different landscape less known but no less important, our olive groves.

The predominant landscape in a wide area of Ciudad Real is the olive groves. Traditional mills and cooperatives are making, nowadays, spectacular olive oils with an exceptional quality. Along this route we will know the most innovative proccesses of elaboration, without loosing the origin and deeply rooted of this “liquid gold” of our gastronomy.
