Finca la Barca

Nationally and internationally, the name Finca la Barca stands for a delicious olive oil that has been traditionally smoked over holm oak wood.

Finca La Barca, with a hint of smoke

The smoky flavor in food is popular not only in Germany. It is reminiscent of the good old days when food was still prepared over a wood fire. But whether it's wood-fired pizza, paella, or steak, in many other countries the more elaborate food preparation over an open fire has had to give way to modern technology. Of course, traditional dishes can also be prepared deliciously with current cooking appliances, but many gourmets today miss the typical smoky taste.

Finca la Barca provides a solution. Just as preparing food over an open fire seasons dishes with a pinch of smoky aroma, Finca la Barca's products also give foods a touch of smoky flavor. By no means overpowering but clearly perceptible, the olive oil and cold sauces from Finca la Barca round off your delicacies prepared on a gas, electric, or induction stove with a wonderfully smoky finish.

Finca la Barca - the taste of adventure

Known worldwide and used and recommended even by top chefs, Finca la Barca olive oil is a real treat for the kitchen. A single-variety Arbequina olive oil is traditionally smoked over holm oak wood at Finca la Barca. This happens in a very slow process of 15 days, so that the wonderful smoky taste can combine perfectly with the aromatic olive oil.

At the same time, Finca la Barca places the greatest importance on ensuring that the pleasant fruity aromas of the Arbequina olive are also preserved in the oil. Therefore, with the smoked olive oil from Finca la Barca, you can look forward to the following bouquet:

• Smoky aroma
• Olive scent
• A touch of banana
• A hint of apple

Because fat is an optimal flavor carrier, you only need to use a small amount of the delicious Finca la Barca olive oil to give your dishes that wonderful smoky finish. Just a few splashes are enough,

• to refine grilled vegetables prepared on the plancha or in the pan with a smoky aroma
• to give the Paella al Romero (= rice pan seasoned with rosemary) the final touch
• to make mackerel fried in a pan taste like a campfire
• for the finishing touch on a delicious Pulpo a la Plancha (= grilled octopus)

Storing aromas and memories safely

Of course, you know that cooking oil that comes into contact with air and heat does not last long and becomes rancid. Therefore, you should never leave an oil bottle unsealed. If you are using a special oil, such as the smoked olive oil from Finca la Barca, proper storage is doubly important. Only if you store the delicious olive oil correctly can you enjoy its wonderful aroma for a long time.

• Keep the Finca la Barca olive oil bottle in a cool place to extend its shelf life.
• To preserve the delicate aromas, do not transfer the exquisite smoked olive oil into a clear glass carafe, but leave it in the dark bottle.
• Close the oil bottle again immediately after each use, as the aromas also dissipate through exposure to oxygen.

Conjuring a campfire atmosphere with Finca la Barca

Because not every dish can be refined with olive oil, Finca la Barca has other products with a smoky aroma in its range. Both the delicious Finca la Barca Mayonnaise and the excellent Finca la Barca Alioli delight with an incomparable smoky taste.

Of course, the unique Finca la Barca Mayonnaise also gets its wonderful wood-fire aroma not from a chemical ingredient, but from the Finca la Barca olive oil smoked over holm oak wood. The extravagant cold sauce is excellent for giving French fries an extra flavor. You can round off cold roasts or give potato salad a smoky taste with the excellent Finca la Barca Mayonnaise. And, without a doubt, the Finca la Barca Mayonnaise with its delicious smoky aroma is also an excellent dip for fresh white bread.

With its incomparable Alioli, Finca la Barca not only hits the mark with garlic fans. The savory garlic dip is also made with smoked olive oil. Whether as a small snack in between or as a hearty appetizer, the Finca la Barca Alioli is always well-received with freshly baked bread.
