Mill La Veronica works as it did 300 years ago
Gourmet & Chic Artisan Spanish Truffle Oil is a blend of black truffles and virgin olive oil chosen from the old Mill La Veronica in Tarazona, at the foot of Mount Moncayo, in Aragón, Spain.
On the slopes of Moncayo, the Cierzo blows, a strong, dry and cold wind that prevents the olive trees from having any kind of plague in other words this is all natural, handmade, artisan truffle oil.
The families, owners of small plots of 40-60-80 olive trees, mostly varieties of Arbequina and Empeltre, traditionally come in December to eat in the fields while shaking and picking olives, which bring to the Mill. In each "capacho" (esparto disk) rest about 5 kilos of olive paste, and about 100 capachos are piled up to be pressed. There, before going to the press, what falls by its weight, is locally called "the Volunteer" because nobody forces it. It is called "Tears of Olives", an organic (virgin olive oil) ,harvested by hand, and collected before pressing.
