Taste the Mediterranean: gourmet olive oil tasting in Mojacar

Treat your taste buds to a decadent experience at LaCala Beach Bar with a one-of-a-kind gourmet tasting, hosted by one of Spain’s leading olive oil producers.

Each year, Campos de Seralba blend traditional farming methods with sustainable production techniques to deliver an exquisite harvest of extra virgin olive oil. Each drop is made all the better for the generations’ worth of knowledge and care infused into every bottle. Their commitment to quality has helped establish the producer as one of the most respected names in Spanish olive oil.

Campos de Seralba, traditional olive oil producers

By combining time-honoured agricultural practices with environmentally conscious production, Campos de Seralba continue to produce oils recognised for their depth of flavour and exceptional quality. The producer’s careful harvesting methods and attention to detail ensure every bottle captures the character of the Mediterranean landscape.

On May 22, award-winning sommelier Alba Sanchez will lead a small, intimate group on a gastronomic journey through the world of premium olive oil tasting. Four different varieties will be on offer, including early harvest, extra virgin, arbequina and olive oil selections, each carefully chosen to showcase unique flavour profiles and aromas.

Mediterranean olive oil and chocolate pairing experience

More than simply sampling Campos de Seralba’s products, guests will be guided through a full sensory experience. Alba Sanchez will help attendees experience the oils with every one of their senses, exploring the layers of flavour, rich aromas and varied textures found within each sample. From peppery and robust notes to softer, fruitier finishes, the tasting aims to reveal the complexity behind high-quality olive oil production.

Each sample of oil will be accompanied by a sweet bite of artisanal flavoured chocolate, allowing guests to discover how beautifully olive oil pairs with contrasting flavour profiles including sweet, salty and spicy combinations. The carefully selected pairings promise a memorable and unexpected culinary experience by the Mediterranean.
