The special Picuda olive
Grown in the sun-drenched heart of Córdoba, the Picuda olive is a hidden gem of southern Spain. It thrives in a region renowned for careful cultivation, early harvesting and high-quality olive oil production.
Why we choose Picuda olives
Unlike other varieties, the Picuda produces oils that are prized for their aromatic complexity and natural balance.
Picuda Extra Virgin Olive Oil typically has a fresh and fruity aroma, marked by top notes of green apple, almond, and olive leaf. It is smooth on the palate, with a gentle bitter-sweetness and a clean, peppery finish. This balance makes it ideal for drizzling over vegetables, salads and fish, or for light cooking.
High in polyphenols
The Picuda olive is naturally rich in polyphenols, which are potent antioxidants that provide both the oil’s signature flavour complexity and nutritional value. While polyphenol levels vary by season and producer, early harvesting is key to maximising these health-giving compounds in the final oil.
The magic of an early harvest
Picuda olives are harvested early, while still green and vibrant. This early harvest is a labour of love that yields less oil but delivers far greater intensity. The result is a brighter, herbaceous flavour with superior stability and a freshness you can taste.
Purity in every drizzle
Picuda Extra Virgin Olive Oil represents a harmonious balance of aroma, taste and quality. Elegant rather than overpowering, it is an excellent choice for those seeking nature’s best.
