Elizondo Nº3 Picual 500 ml with presentation box is a high-end extra virgin olive oil made from 100% Picual olives, presented in a beautifully crafted bottle accompanied by its matching box. This Elizondo product showcases the character of one of Spain’s most highly prized olive varieties, known for its aromatic intensity and distinctive personality. Its presentation combines the appeal of a premium EVOO with an elegant look, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a quality oil to enjoy or a gourmet gift to surprise someone with.
The Picual variety is especially prominent in the province of Jaén, where olive groves are an essential part of the landscape and agricultural tradition. Its olives produce oils with pronounced vegetal notes and a naturally high content of oleic acid and phenolic compounds. These characteristics contribute to the oil’s stability and distinctive sensory profile. Elizondo Nº3 celebrates the qualities of this variety, making it particularly appealing to those who appreciate robust olive oils.
On the palate, this EVOO has a fresh, expressive green-fruit profile, with notes of freshly cut grass, tomato plant, olive leaves and artichoke, complemented by delicate hints of green almond. It opens with vegetal, aromatic notes, followed by a pronounced bitterness and a gradually building peppery finish, both characteristic of the Picual variety. Its texture is smooth and full-bodied, with a lingering finish and fresh notes that add depth and character.
Elizondo Nº3 Picual is especially recommended for use raw, allowing its aromatic nuances to shine. It pairs beautifully with artisan bread, fresh tomatoes, salads, grilled vegetables and aged cheeses. It is also excellent with red meat, baked fish, pulses, rice dishes and traditional Mediterranean cuisine. Its intensity enhances ingredients with pronounced flavors and adds a distinctive touch to a wide range of dishes. Presented in a 500 ml bottle with a matching box, it makes an attractive choice for gourmet gifts, celebrations and premium olive oil tastings.
