Picual Olive Oil

O-MED Olive Oil – Picual – 500ml

The O-Med Picual olive oil is a mono-cultivar, extra virgin olive oil from Andalusia in southern Spain. In the province of Granada, siblings Paula and Juande run their family's small oil mill, now in its fourth generation.

The Picual olives are harvested quite early, in the last week of October. On the day of harvest, the olives are processed into a top-quality olive oil in their own mill.

The O-MED Picual extra virgin olive oil has received 40 international awards in recent years, including Stiftung Warentest Textsieger, the Oil Oscar in 2016, and 7 awards at the Olio Award from Feinschmecker. In 2020, O-Med was honored with the Spanish State Prize for its excellent olive oil.

What characterizes O-Med Picual olive oil?

The Picual olive oil has a golden, greenish color, is bright and clear, and has a particularly complex, intensely fruity aroma reminiscent of apple, the sweetness of almonds, tomatoes, and aromatic herbs like rosemary. The long-lasting aroma on the palate shows a pleasant bitterness with notes of artichoke, olive leaf, and green walnuts. The medium-bodied O-Med Picual olive oil is a very balanced extra virgin oil that demonstrates a good balance between fruitiness, bitterness, and pungency.

The olive oil pairs perfectly with strong fish, roasted meat, Mediterranean vegetables, and, together with a good vinegar, accompanies all kinds of salads, e.g., radicchio, arugula, or romaine lettuce as a vinaigrette.
