Oro del Desierto Picual 1 L is an organic extra virgin olive oil made exclusively from the Picual olive variety. It comes from the Oro del Desierto olive groves in Tabernas, Almería, a region with an arid climate and high sun exposure that gives this family-run mill's production a unique character.
Picual is one of the most representative varieties of the Spanish olive grove and is known for producing intense, structured oils with a significant presence of vegetal nuances. At Oro del Desierto, the care of the fruit from the field to the mill makes it possible to obtain an organic monovarietal that preserves the freshness and personality typical of this olive.
On the nose, it presents an expressive green fruitiness, with hints of tomato plant, fresh grass, and olive leaf, accompanied by notes of green almond and other vegetal nuances. On the palate, it displays a full-bodied texture and increasing intensity. Bitterness is clearly present, while spiciness appears progressively and prolongs the sensation of freshness. The finish is intense, clean, and persistent.
Due to its character, Oro del Desierto Picual is particularly interesting to enjoy raw. It is ideal on toast and tomato, salads, vegetables, soups, and legumes, and pairs very well with meats, cheeses, and dishes with pronounced flavors. The 1-liter format offers a practical option for those who regularly consume EVOO and prefer organic oils with a marked personality.
