What It Tastes Like

Unripe stone fruit leads into a delicate floral center, finishing with fresh tomato leaf and the pleasantly peppery character of a carefully produced Picual olive oil.

How to Enjoy It

Excellent for bread dipping, salads, marinades, grilled or roasted vegetables, beans, soups, seafood, pasta, and finishing dishes just before serving.

Freshness Preserved at the Mill

Our Portuguese partner producer, SAOV, uses high-vacuum malaxation to remove oxygen during the stage when freshly crushed olive paste is most vulnerable to oxidation. This advanced technique helps preserve the oil’s phenolic content, chemistry, aroma, and flavor while reducing oxidation markers.
