OLIVE OIL The olive tree and olive oil symbols of peace, prosperity and knowledge - are substan tial elements of the people who live on the shores of the Mediterranean, birthplace of civilizations that marked long periods of history. There are signs of this precious greeny-gold liquid squeezed from olives, all along this route. It is a vital activity in the area, where the abundant production comes under the designation of origin of oil from Baena and Priego and provides the opportunity for tasting some of the best varieties in the world. DISHES There are marinades, different salad dressings, stews made with ancient recipes, all along the way. Local cooking has tried not to forget its cultural heritage and quite a few of the recipes have been rediscovered in old Moorish and Hebrew manuscripts. Among the favourite dishes. we have Jaimorejo (a slightly different and creamier version of gazpacho), artichokes a la montillana, oxtail or flamenquines. For dessert, one should try pastel Cordobes or Suspiros de Almanzor (sighs of Almanzor of Cordova). WINE The area of Montilla- Moriles in the province of Cordova produces some excellent finos, olorosos, amontillados and dulces, made from Pedro Ximenez grapes, which is widespread throughout the area. They are very good with various kinds of sausages, as well as with deserts. There are also a few smaller wine-producing areas in the province of Jaen. |
