Picual Monovarietal
Organic

Harvested in 2024 from certified organic Picual olives grown in Paso Robles, California - over at Spanish Oaks Ranch. This single varietal oil presents green aromas of tomato leaf, fresh-cut grass, and tropical fruit.

The palate delivers bold flavors of arugula, herbs, and tomato leaf, balanced by notes of ripe tropical fruit. A gentle heat develops, leading to a long finish. Smooth and well-balanced profile characteristic of the Picual variety.

Small batch production on the California Central Coast.

Oil Character

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 Paso Robles, California, United States.

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 originPaso Robles, California, United States
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.

Release dataPicual
Farming & certification

Growing choices

The oil records certification to an organic production standard.

Why choose it

Choose the practices and certifications that best match your environmental and farming priorities.

Worth knowing

Farming method and certification may guide values-based choices, but do not automatically determine flavour, freshness or nutritional value.
