Mount Zero's Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil is crafted from 100% Picual olives, cold-pressed at room temperature shortly after harvest to preserve its vibrant qualities. The oil has a fresh and aromatic profile with notes of tomato, fig, rocket, and green banana, complemented by a subtle peppery finish. Its buttery texture makes it ideal for drizzling over grilled vegetables, pairing with fish or seafood, and enhancing dishes like fresh tomatoes. This olive oil is perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your culinary creations.

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 5.2
Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.
Bitterness 3.2
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.
Pungency 3.8
Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.
Polyphenols 5.3
Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds found in olives and other plants. In olive oil, reported phenolic content is a chemistry measure that can be associated with bitterness, pungency and oxidative stability; total phenols are not interchangeable with hydroxytyrosol-plus-derivatives measurement used for the EU-authorised wording.

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 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.
