Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Spain 2025
Intensity - Medium
A benchmark Picual from the heart of Jaén, this oil opens with an intense bouquet of tomato leaf, fresh-cut grass, and green tomato. On the palate, notes of green tomato, bell pepper, crisp lettuce, and bitter endive unfold before rounding into a warming finish of black peppercorn, baking spices, and a whisper of cinnamon. A cool, minty echo lingers elegantly as the oil fades.
Balanced and refined—medium bitterness with bright, spicy pungency that never overwhelms—this is a versatile, gourmet EVOO for the modern table. Ideal for scrambling eggs, pan con tomate, roasting potatoes, and searing meats, it also elevates tomato confit, simple pasta sauces, caponata, and richly spiced dishes such as dal and chili paneer.
