About this oil

This oil, in full

Everything behind the numbers — the varietal, the estate, the milling, and how to taste it.

A single-estate extra virgin olive oil, cold-milled and tasted blind before it reaches the shelf.

Finca las Manillas lleva produciendo aceite desde 1878 — cuatro generaciones de la misma familia al pie de Sierra Morena. Este Picual tiene el carácter de un olivar centenario en altura que solo embotella cosecha propia. Lo que sale de sus olivos es lo que llega a la botella, sin comprar aceituna a terceros. Esa honestidad se nota cuando lo catas: es un Picual auténtico, sin artificios.

What is the difference between the Noviembre Picual and the Limited Edition?
The selection. Noviembre Picual is the general early harvest production. The Limited Edition is made only from the best lots of that same harvest: the first olives, the trees that gave the best fruit that year. It's a small production that isn't repeated until the next campaign.
What is the Jaen Seleccion award?
The most important competition in the province that produces the most olive oil in the world. Jaen represents over 50% of Spanish production. Winning Jaen Seleccion is like winning the league at home, where the competition is fiercest.
Is it very pungent?
It has pungency, yes, but well balanced with bitterness. It's not an aggressive oil: it's intense. The difference matters. An aggressive oil has defects disguised as character. This one has real character: clean bitterness and pungency that appear, sustain and fade leaving an aftertaste of nuts.
Is it worth it if I already have the regular Noviembre Picual?
They are different experiences. The Noviembre is a great everyday Picual. The Limited Edition is for moments where you want something exceptional: a special dish, a dinner party, or simply sitting with a piece of bread and paying attention. Having both at home makes sense.
Why "limited edition" and not just another brand?
Because it's a real and limited production, not a marketing label. It's made once a year with the first olives of the campaign. When it's gone, it's gone. The name tells you exactly what it is.
