This olive variety is native to Castilla-La Mancha. It results in an extra virgin olive oil of an intense gold-green colour which stands out due to its density alongside its almond, apple and fruity notes. These are extra virgin oils which are fruity and aromatic, with medium level bitterness and pungency. When they are obtained from more mature olives, toward the end of the harvest, they feature different flavours and textures of exotic fruits such as avocado. The extra virgin olive oils made from Cornicabrapresent a noteworthy balance between an initial sweetness, a green leaf bitterness and a medium level pungency, therefore making them well suited in stews and roasts. These extra virgin olive oils are very stable due to their high content in polyphenols and monounsaturated fatty acids.
