Barrocal Organic 100% Bical is a premium single-varietal olive oil crafted from the Bical olives grown in the historic non-intensive groves of São Lourenço do Barrocal in Monsaraz, Alentejo. Harvested using a gentle non-invasive vibrating method that preserves the fruit's natural character, this organic oil pays homage to the traditional "green olive" of Reguengos de Monsaraz. The 12x12m planting layout of the 6,600 olive trees reflects time-honoured agricultural practices, resulting in an authentic expression of this regional variety. Perfect for drizzling over salads, grilled vegetables, or fresh bread to appreciate its distinctive character.

Oil Character
Sense of place
The oil is listed as coming from a single estate in Monsaraz, Alentejo, Portugal, giving it a specific farm origin.
Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.
Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.
Single variety listed
The latest release lists Bical as its only recorded cultivar.
A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.
One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.
Growing choices
The oil records certification to an organic production standard.
Choose the practices and certifications that best match your environmental and farming priorities.
Farming method and certification may guide values-based choices, but do not automatically determine flavour, freshness or nutritional value.
