Picualia Premium Picual 500 ml is an 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 oil mill combines the experience of local farmers with modern production techniques, seeking to obtain oils that reflect the quality and personality of the Jaén olive groves.
The Picual variety is the most representative of Jaén and one of the most appreciated for its aromatic intensity, natural stability, and richness in phenolic compounds. The olive groves of Bailén thrive in a Mediterranean climate with a marked continental influence, characterized by warm summers and cool winters. These conditions are part of the agricultural identity of a region closely linked to the production of extra virgin olive oil.
On the nose, it presents an intense green fruitiness, with hints of freshly cut grass, olive leaf, tomato vine, and green almond, accompanied by nuances of artichoke and aromatic plants. On the palate, it offers a fresh and flavorful entry, with medium-intensity bitterness and a progressive spiciness that provides structure. Its finish is persistent, with pleasant vegetal sensations characteristic of the Picual variety.
Thanks to its intensity and personality, it is especially recommended to be enjoyed raw on artisan bread, tomato, salads, and vegetables. It also pairs very well with grilled meats, fish, legumes, aged cheeses, and traditional Andalusian dishes. It is an excellent choice for finishing gazpachos, salmorejos, vegetable creams, and recipes where you want to enhance the flavor of the ingredients with an olive oil of distinct character.
