Loopline Olives at Opaki in New Zealand's Wairarapa grows Picual among five olive varieties that flourish through hot dry summer days and cool winter nights, each variety picked and pressed separately. Owners Stephen and Vivienne studied as olive oil sommeliers in San Francisco. This 2026 Picual comes peppery and warm with fruit close behind, its 242 mg/kg of polyphenols placing it in the medium category, so try it with grilled meat.
