Oro del Desierto Picual is an organic extra virgin olive oil made exclusively from Picual variety olives at the Oro del Desierto family estate, located in Tabernas, Almería. The area's unique desert environment, characterized by its dry climate and high sun exposure, is part of the identity of the oils produced by this mill.
The olives are carefully processed to preserve their freshness and obtain an EVOO that clearly expresses the qualities of the Picual variety. This variety, one of the most representative of the Spanish olive grove, produces oils with remarkable aromatic intensity, good structure, and a marked presence of green sensations.
On the nose, vegetable aromas predominate, with hints of tomato and tomato vine, freshly cut grass, and olive leaf, accompanied by nuances of almond and green fruit. On the palate, it has body and personality, with a perceptible bitterness and a progressive pungency that appear in a balanced way. Its finish is long, fresh, and persistent.
Thanks to its intensity, Oro del Desierto Picual is especially interesting for raw consumption when you want the oil to take center stage. It can be used on toast, salads, and vegetables, as well as to accompany legumes, meats, cheeses, and intensely flavored dishes. It also works very well as a finishing touch for creams, soups, and various Mediterranean recipes.
