Oloroso is a type of fortified wine from the Sherry region of Spain, known for its rich, nutty flavor and dark amber color. Unlike other sherries, Oloroso is not produced with a layer of yeast called flor, which allows it to oxidize during aging. This process enhances its complexity and depth, resulting in a full-bodied wine.
Typically, Oloroso has aromas of dried fruits, nuts, and spices, making it a popular choice for pairing with rich foods. It can be enjoyed on its own or used in cooking to add depth to sauces and dishes.
