Picualia Premium Hojiblanca 500 ml is an extra virgin olive oil made exclusively from Hojiblanca variety olives by Picualia, an olive oil cooperative located in Bailén, in the province of Jaén. This monovarietal allows you to discover a different expression of the Jaén olive grove, traditionally associated with the Picual variety, and enjoy the aromatic qualities of one of the most representative olives of Andalusia.
The Hojiblanca gets its name from the characteristic light tone of the underside of its leaves. It is a variety especially widespread in the provinces of Córdoba, Málaga, and Seville, although it is also grown in other Andalusian areas. Its olives produce oils of great gastronomic interest, appreciated for their vegetal aromas, freshness, and the balance between fruity, bitter, and spicy sensations.
On the nose, it presents a fresh and expressive green fruitiness, with hints of freshly cut grass, olive leaf, and artichoke, accompanied by notes of green almond and aromatic plants. On the palate, it is pleasant and structured, with a fruity entry, medium-intensity bitterness, and a progressive spiciness that adds liveliness. Its finish is persistent, with pleasant vegetal sensations characteristic of the Hojiblanca variety.
Thanks to its balance and aromatic intensity, it is especially recommended to be enjoyed raw on artisan bread, tomato, salads, and vegetables. It also pairs very well with fish, seafood, white meats, legumes, rice dishes, and cheeses. It is an excellent choice for finishing gazpachos, salmorejos, vegetable creams, and Mediterranean dishes where the goal is to add freshness and personality without masking the flavor of the ingredients.
