Picual Monovarietal

Made from Picual olives, this medium intensity extra virgin olive oil has green fruity flavours reminiscent of fresh leaves and cut grass, accompanied by a distinct pungency like tomato leaf, along with notes of ripe olive and nuttiness. Its vibrant profile makes it perfect for pairing with grilled fish, tomato-based dishes, or hearty soups, where its bold character adds depth without overwhelming.

Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

The harvest date is disclosed on the bottle or product information, making the release easier to date and compare.

Why choose it

Choose a recent, clearly dated release when you want the most vivid expression of its aromas and flavour.

Worth knowing

A harvest date does not reveal how the oil was stored, so date is an important signal rather than a guarantee of condition.

Product informationHarvest date disclosed
Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Capay Valley, California, United States.

Why choose it

Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.

Worth knowing

Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.

Listed originCapay Valley, California, United States
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Picual as its only recorded cultivar.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.

Worth knowing

One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.
