PICUAL EARLY HARVEST EVOO. Harvest Oct. 2024. 500ML.

Our Picual Premium is crafted from green, unripe Picual olives, harvested only during a short window of a couple of weeks each year, the reason it is such a limited edition.

Unlike ripe black olives that are full of juice and can be squeezed, green olives are harder and contain much less liquid. That’s why it takes more fruit, more effort, and great care to produce this oil. Within just 8 hours of harvest, we extract the juice using purely mechanical methods, ensuring maximum freshness, aroma, and antioxidants.

To give you an idea of nature’s effort:

• A 400-year-old olive tree produces on average 50 kg of olives each harvest.
  
• But when harvested early, it takes 10 kg of olives to make just 1 liter of olive oil.
  
• Some of the yield is naturally lost, as the olives at the very top of the tree cling tightly to the branches and never fall.
  

The result is a complex, powerful olive oil with extraordinary aroma and character, truly one of the most precious oils we produce.

Picual EH Flavor Profile: Early harvest Picual olive oil is has a robust and bold flavor profile. Complex combination of fruity, bitter, and peppery notes, contributing to a rich and intense taste experience. Tasting notes of fresh grass, apple and fig. In case you want to know, we won a GOLD QUALITY AWARD Canada International Olive Oil Competition 2021, check link here.

High Polyphenol Content: Early harvest olives contain higher levels of polyphenols, which are natural antioxidants. These compounds combat free radicals keeping our cells younger and also provide a longer shelf life by helping to prevent oxidation. We are lucky that within the 1200 types of olives in the world, picual is one varieties of olives with the highest amount in polyphenols.

Early Harvest Date Oct 2024: Early harvesting means the olives are picked when they are still green and not fully ripened. This means that 1 case with 12 bottles contains the full production of one full olive tree hundreds years old. Some years like Oct 2023 when the production has been very low, every case holds 2 olive trees. We indicate the harvest date at the back of the label.

Peppery Finish that your throat will handle: Picual olive oil is known for its peppery finish, especially in early harvest varieties. This peppery sensation at the back of the throat is a sign of the oil's high-quality and fresh attributes. Do not worry, Vezorla's picual is a medium intensity so your throat normally won't suffer for a strong caught.

Traditional agriculture practices: Our trees are happily planted 10 metres apart. We cold extract the juice within 8 hours of the olives being harvested. Note: Cold Press is only a trend, that is an old procedure to extract the juice, nowadays is only use for personal consumption.
