You’re probably already thinking about how to surprise your soulmate on Valentine’s Day. And if you don’t feel like turning to the typical gifts for the Day of Love, don’t worry—we’ve got ideas beyond the classic presents to truly impress.
There’s life beyond heart-shaped mugs, teddy bears, bouquets of flowers or the usual piece of jewelry and/or perfume. What’s the key? Choosing a gift that makes your partner feel unique, that carries your personal touch, or that takes them back to moments or anecdotes from your love story—lived or yet to come.
More and more people are embracing tourism and gastronomic experiences. Sometimes a combination of both. There’s always a getaway waiting to happen that you can personalize down to the smallest detail. A perfect opportunity not only to discover a destination, but to taste wines or local olive oils after visiting vineyards, wineries or olive mills that hold charm, soulful stories and centuries of know-how.
Another highly recommended activity for couples is tastings. How about enjoying one featuring the most emblematic EVOOs from Almazaras de la Subbética? It’s as simple as visiting our online store and choosing some of our gift packs. You can opt for those containing only extra virgin olive oil or for options that also include gourmet products, ranging from cheese, quince paste or the finest organic chocolate to premium potato chips.
The best part? On our website you can view the tasting notes for each of our EVOOs and the foods they pair best with, so the ‘match’ is perfect.
And if you decide to take a route through the Subbética to celebrate Valentine’s Day, make sure to visit Carcabuey, the beautiful town in Córdoba where the best extra virgin olive oils in the world are produced and where our physical store is located.
Get your favorite olive oil to put into practice the knowledge and tips you gain in couples’ cooking classes, one of the most successful gifts of the moment. Or for an unforgettable picnic in a dreamy landscape with a basket, delicious snacks and a blanket just for two.
You can also include it in a handmade personal recipe book or as part of a themed dinner at home inspired by a country you both love. Truly, there are many options beyond the classic tasting menu at a restaurant that can be just as special and unforgettable.
So think about what best matches your style, let your imagination run free, engage all five senses and prepare a dreamy Valentine’s Day. Happy Valentine’s Day, Alma Lovers!
