Picual

Mount Zero Olives' Early Harvest Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made from 100% Picual olives harvested early in the season to maximise flavour and nutritional content. Cold-pressed at room temperature within hours of harvest, this unfiltered oil retains its natural characteristics, including potential sediment or cloudiness.

With a phenolic content of 269 ppm and free fatty acids (FFA) at 0.17%, this oil is characterised by intense aromas of tomato vine, Granny Smith apple, mustard greens, and spicy horseradish, complemented by a robust bitterness that lingers on the palate.

Perfect for showcasing its fresh flavour profile, it pairs well with simple salads, bread, or warm dishes to enhance aroma release.

Oil Character

Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

The oil is bottled without filtration and may retain natural moisture and fine olive solids.

Why choose it

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

Worth knowing

Olio nuovo and unfiltered describe different things, but both reward careful storage and prompt use.

Recorded producer informationUnfiltered
Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in North West Victoria, Victoria, Australia.

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 originNorth West Victoria, Victoria, Australia
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.
