Tasting Auream Argudell PDO Empordà
As it is poured, a green fruitiness appears, recalling freshly cut grass, tomato plant and fresh almond. On the palate the entry is gentle, almost shy, and then moderate bitterness and pepperiness arrive to hold it together without any harshness.
Some oils shout and some oils converse. Argudell belongs to the second kind: it accompanies, suggests, lets the dish speak and adds at the end a green caress that lingers in the memory.
Llàgrimes del Canigó, at the foot of the Pyrenees
Llàgrimes del Canigó makes its oils in Agullana, in the Alt Empordà, where the olive groves look up at the Canigó massif and the tramontana wind blows hard for much of the year. Its name, «tears of the Canigó», evokes the snow-capped mountain that presides over the landscape.
The Auream range is made exclusively from Argudell, a native Empordà variety little known outside Catalonia, which gives fine oils full of nuance. At Espai Oleum we treat it as one of the treasures of the house: Catalan oil from a neighbouring county, with a personality like no other.
Half a litre is the format we sell most in Mataró: it fits any kitchen, is finished at a good pace and lets Argudell become part of the daily routine. Customers who come back for it tend to say the same thing: it makes food more beautiful without any effort showing.
