The Picual variety is the most represented olive in terms of cultivated surface area and extra virgin olive oil production in the world. Its excellent productivity and fat yield make it the primary choice for harvesting. Su marcada personalidad organoléptica en sus principales atributos, frutado, amargo y picante, que siendo bien elaborados presentan un perfecto equilibrio para disfrutar de su alta intensidad, la hacen fundamental en nuestra cocina. Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil also contains numerous beneficial health properties due to its nutritional composition. Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the variety with the highest oleic acid (monounsaturated fat) that exceeds 80% of its lipid profile. It also has high levels of lignans, sterols, pigments, vitamins A and E, and polyphenols (natural antioxidants). Likewise, the polyunsaturated fatty acids like linoleic acid are low, making this oil oxidation and rancid resistant. It is ideal for individuals with high cholesterol, as it helps reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL). The polyphenols also have been linked to possible reduction of lipid oxidation in blood. These benefits make EVOO key for the Mediterranean diet.

Our hallmark oil, developed from centenary-old olive trees. The Cornicabra variety has a sensory profile with a pronounced bitterness and pungency. These characteristics demonstrate a direct correlation to the poor soils and adverse climates (cold and dry) in which it normally grows. Its high fruit detachment rate is compensated by the good fat yield from its fruit, an excellent organoleptic profile and a high stability (shelf life).
This Extra Virgin Olive Oil is very stable thanks to its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids and polyphenols (natural antioxidants). Its monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids content provide the perfect balance to combat coronary heart disease, reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL).
