Coupage Olive Oil
While the various types of olive oil mentioned earlier are obtained from a single type of olive, this variety is achieved by blending different olive varieties during the milling or extraction phase.
An Extra Virgin Olive Oil Coupage widely accepted is the one formed by the picual and arbequina varieties since it represents the perfect combination, achieving a blend of flavors that would be impossible to obtain separately.
