View release history

Grown at the family estate of Cape Schanck on the Mornington Peninsula, this Picual oil comes from a Spanish variety cold pressed within hours of picking. The grove catches rugged winds from Bass Strait and prospers in the coastal climate and rich sandy soils. The oil shows aromas of fig leaf, rocket, ripe tomato and passionfruit alongside robust spicy flavours and a slight bitter finish.
