Sourced from Portugal, our 2024 Picual Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil is one of the most technically advanced and flavor-rich oils in our collection. This mild-intensity olive oil reveals layered green fruity notes of kiwi, followed by a touch of pepper and a lingering floral finish.
What sets this Picual EVOO apart is the use of high vacuum malaxation—an innovative method that removes oxygen during processing, helping to retain phenolic content and reduce oxidation. This preserves the oil’s chemistry, antioxidant potency, and delicate sensory characteristics.
Awarded a high fruitiness score by our expert taste panel, this premium oil is ideal for those who appreciate subtle complexity in both flavor and nutrition. With a smoke point of 355°F and excellent stability, it is suitable for daily cooking, drizzling, and finishing dishes with finesse.
