Tasting Profile / Serving Suggestions: This season's Picual has a fruity nose and displays notes of banana, arugula and tomato leaf with a slight pepper finish. It is reminiscent of tropical fruit and has a moderate amount of tomato leaf. It is a very well-balanced oil, with a high fruitiness score & complexity. Great over any fresh cheese variety, vegetables, seafoods, and salads. A delightful condiment and finishing oil to use virtually anywhere!
