Cayon is an olive variety that is primarily grown in the region of La Rioja, Spain. It is a small to medium-sized olive with an elongated shape and a purple-to-black color when fully ripe.
Cayon olives are primarily used for olive oil production, and the resulting oil is highly regarded for its fruity, slightly spicy flavor and low acidity. It has a golden color and a medium to robust intensity, with hints of green apple, almond, and black pepper.
In addition to olive oil production, Cayon olives are also used as table olives. They are typically cured in brine or salt and are often flavored with herbs or spices. When used as table olives, Cayon olives are prized for their firm texture and bold, slightly bitter taste.
