Coupage Olive OIl

The coupage extra virgin olive oil, or coupage EVOO, like wine, is made from a mixture of at least two varieties of the fruit. In the case of olive oil, from at least two types of olives. Therefore, a juice with the characteristics of different varieties is achieved.

Thus, with respect to monovarietal olive oils, the tasting notes of a coupage can be more complex, with more nuances, and even more balanced. In addition, he is the master of the oil mill, the one who, as a result of his experience, decides in what quantity and which olives are mixed. It is therefore a task that requires great precision in order to obtain a mixture that can take advantage of the best of each variety.
