Picualia Premium Organic Picual 500 ml is an organic extra virgin olive oil made exclusively from Picual variety olives by Picualia, an olive oil cooperative located in Bailén, in the province of Jaén. This single-varietal brings together the olive-growing tradition of one of Spain's main producing regions with a commitment to organic farming and the production of high-quality oils.
The Picual variety is the most representative of Jaén’s olive groves and stands out for its aromatic intensity, natural stability, and richness in phenolic compounds. In the Bailén area, the olive groves develop under a Mediterranean climate with continental influence, characterized by warm summers and cool winters. Organic cultivation avoids the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers and pesticides, favoring agricultural practices focused on caring for the soil and the natural environment.
On the nose, it presents an intense and expressive green fruitiness, with hints of freshly cut grass, olive leaf, and tomato plant, accompanied by notes of green almond, artichoke, and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it is fresh and structured, with a distinct vegetal entry, medium-intensity bitterness, and a progressive pungency that adds character. Its finish is persistent and leaves pleasant herbaceous sensations, characteristic of oils made with Picual olives.
Thanks to its intensity, it is especially recommended for enjoying raw on artisanal bread, tomatoes, salads, and vegetables. It also pairs very well with grilled meats, fish, legumes, aged cheeses, and traditional Andalusian dishes. Its aromatic profile is particularly interesting for finishing gazpachos, salmorejos, vegetable creams, and Mediterranean recipes where the olive oil is intended to add depth and personality.
