Picual extra virgin olive oil is intensely flavorful, with a pleasant spiciness and notes of banana, fresh herbs and black pepper. This is not your bland supermarket oil! It is a delicious addition to salads paired with sherry vinegar, and stands up very well to cooking. Use it for sautéing fish or adding another dimension to stews and soups.
Chef José Andrés has traveled Spain looking for examples of iconic foods from his home country. This premium Picual extra virgin olive oil is produced by Casas de Hualdo in Toledo for his private label. Harvested at the peak of ripeness, the purple-black olives are cleaned and first cold pressed just hours after harvesting to preserve the flavor and healthy properties of the oil.
