Picual Robust Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Harvest: 2025
Country / Region: Portugal
Intensity: Medium - Robust
Description: Crafted by one of Portugal’s most innovative producers we present a rare Picual of Portuguese origin. This year’s harvest is a well-balanced example of the coveted Spanish varietal.
Additional Notes: Our partner producer (SAOV) in Portugal is using a high vacuum during malaxation to remove all of the oxygen in this processing stage where the oil spends the most time and is most prone to oxidation. This cutting edge and very technical method preserves the phenolic content, the overall chemistry plus the flavour characteristics while reducing other oxidation markers.
Tasting Profile / Serving Suggestions: It displays notes of unripe stone fruit with a floral center followed by tomato leaf on the finish. On the palate it conveys some complimentary bitterness, and a full, fruity nose. High fruitiness scores. Great over any fresh cheese variety, vegetables, seafoods, and salads. A delightful condiment and finishing oil to use virtually anywhere!
