Picual Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Intensity: Mild
Crush Date: May 2022
Country of origin: Australia
This incredibly fruity example of Picual has a sweet nose and displays notes of stone fruit and tomato leaf. Very high in healthy MUFA (Oleic). Excellent overall chemical composition which translates into shelf life, durability, and health benefits. A note from the master miller and world renowned agronomist on this remarkable oil-
“The fruit was really well developed this year with a very large flesh to pit ratio giving a lot of fruity/sweeter notes even while green. Oil content was low but fruit weight was huge so they sort of compensated each other but set the tone for the oil characters of 2022”
