Oro del Desierto Lechín organic 1 L

Lechín, a little-known variety

Lechín is a traditional variety of southern Spain, less widespread than Picual or Arbequina and mostly used in blends. Oro del Desierto makes it on its own in Tabernas, from organic groves, so its personality can be appreciated.

Farming without synthetic chemicals and Almería’s dry climate give a healthy, concentrated olive.

Betting on a minority variety is also a way of preserving the diversity of Spanish olive groves, which hold dozens of local varieties with very different flavours. Each tin of Lechín is a small sample of that richness, rarely found in shops.
