Rock'n R'Olive Picual 500 ml is an extra virgin olive oil made from Picual olives by Casas de Hualdo, a producer based in El Carpio de Tajo, in the province of Toledo. This product combines the quality of a single-variety oil with a modern, original image, designed to introduce the world of EVOO to those seeking distinctive gourmet products. Its name, inspired by the world of rock music, gives a distinctive character to one of the most emblematic varieties of Spanish olive groves.
Casas de Hualdo operates on an estate alongside the River Tagus, in an agricultural setting where olive groves take center stage. The Picual variety is especially prized for its aromatic intensity, high natural stability, and richness in oleic acid and phenolic compounds. Its olives produce oils with a bold character and an appealing combination of green, bitter, and peppery notes.
On the nose, it has an intense, expressive green fruitiness, with hints of freshly cut grass, olive leaf, and green tomato, accompanied by notes of almond, artichoke, and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it is well-structured and flavorful, with a fresh start, a noticeable bitterness, and a gradually building peppery finish that adds character. Its finish is long, with vegetal notes characteristic of the Picual variety.
Thanks to its distinctive character, it is especially recommended for enjoying raw over artisan bread, tomatoes, salads, and vegetables. It also pairs very well with grilled meats, gourmet burgers, fish, legumes, aged cheeses, and roasted potatoes. Its intensity makes it an excellent choice for finishing pizzas, vegetable soups, and dishes where you want the oil to take center stage. In addition, its original Rock'n R'Olive packaging makes it an appealing option for gourmet gifts and for anyone looking to discover olive oil from a different perspective.
