Organic

This certified organic extra virgin Picual olive oil offers a distinctive flavour profile with some vanilla notes transitioning to spice, creating a finish ideal for drizzling. Made from single variety Picual olives grown on a small, less than one acre organic grove in Paso Robles, California, it is harvested in late December and cold pressed to preserve quality. Boasting high polyphenols at 431 mg/kg, it provides antioxidant, anti inflammatory, and heart protective benefits, making it perfect for pairing with grilled meats, fresh salads, or even vanilla infused desserts.
