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. Versatility in Culinary Applications - Fragrance and Taste: The robust flavour of premium early harvest Picual olive oil makes it a versatile choice in the kitchen. It can enhance the taste of a variety of dishes, from salads and vegetables to meats and seafood. Our favourite use is during breakfast on toasted bread, maybe with some garlic and maybe tomato (look at our 1 min recipes and you will find out). Also it is perfect for dipping bread, salads, and any dish that you want to enjoy the fragrance and the taste.
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.
