Picual Monovarietal

Picual EVOO from Rata Olives delivers a robust, full bodied profile with pronounced bitter and peppery notes, underpinned by ripe tomato and green almond flavors. Made from the Picual variety, the olives are harvested at optimal ripeness and cold‑pressed to preserve high polyphenol content. Excellent for grilling red meats, hearty stews, or as a bold finishing oil for aged cheeses.
