AOVE Picual · jug 2,5 L

Extra virgin from Picual, the variety richest in oleic acid and polyphenols. Those polyphenols are natural antioxidants: they are what make this oil keep better, and stand up to heat better, than any other. Picked early and milled the same day. Milled with the stone, stirred below 27 °C and two-phase separated, exactly like the rest of our extra virgins: what changes is the fruit, not the process. An oil with character: pronounced bitterness and pepper, with olive leaf, tomato plant and fig leaf on the nose. It holds up to heat without breaking down, so this is the one for cooking and frying — and for anyone who likes their toast with personality.
