In Andalusia, that ingredient is extra-virgin olive oil: it\u2019s present at breakfast, as an appetizer, in the main course, and in dessert. To understand Andalusian olive oil is to better understand the culinary culture of Tarifa and the entire province of C\u00e1diz.<\/p>\n<h2>Andalusia, the world's leading producer<\/h2>\n<p>Andalusia produces about 75% of Spain's olive oil and more than 40% of the world's total production. The provinces of Ja\u00e9n and C\u00f3rdoba account for the bulk of production, but the olives from the Sierra de C\u00e1diz produce oils of the highest quality with a unique flavor profile.<\/p>\n<h2>The most common varieties in the province of C\u00e1diz<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chamomile<\/strong>: the most common variety. A fruity, mild oil with notes of green almond and fresh grass.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lech\u00edn<\/strong>: a more aromatic and spicy oil, with notes of green tomato and artichoke.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Picual<\/strong>: particularly stable due to its high polyphenol content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to use it in Tarifa cuisine<\/h2>\n<p>Toast with olive oil and grated tomato is Tarifa\u2019s most authentic breakfast. The olive oil is poured generously over the toasted bread\u2014not spread, but poured\u2014then rubbed with ripe tomato and sprinkled with a pinch of salt. Simple, perfect, unbeatable.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to buy it<\/h2>\n<p>Several producers from the Sierra de C\u00e1diz have retail outlets in Tarifa. Look for labels bearing the \u201cSierra de C\u00e1diz\u201d Designation of Origin: they guarantee the product\u2019s origin and quality.
