Olive Oil Tasting in Mendoza

 

It wasn’t just some great reds tasted in Mendoza, Argentina this month, olive oil is also under going a rebirth. Quality oil that is. At the borgada Familia Zuccardi their new processing center is ready for operation. Color, aroma and taste matters much like wine itself. While taking a sip it is important to suck in some air also, that is the way to test the varietals, which range from sweet to spicy. The Familia uses three varietals, Manzanilla, Arauco and Frantoio, all different and all wonderful.
