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 in the benefits of the Mediterranean diet.
