★★★★★ Maria Jose Piquer

“Nuevamente todo un acierto el aceite que me habéis aconsejado, un aceite con sabor, olor y paladar exquisitos”

About this oil

Oiltopia Picual is an extra virgin olive oil of the variety Picual, produced in Cordoba, crafted by Oiltopia.

Sensory profile

Sensory star crafted by Mercedes Uceda. With every order from Molino & Cata you receive a printed copy of this tasting sheet.

Tasting notes

This Picual is green and fresh, with aromas reminiscent of freshly cut grass, tomato plant, green nuts and green apple. On the palate it is intense, with bitterness and pungency that make themselves known from the very first moment, yet in a beautifully balanced way. The aftertaste is green apple.

Pairing

Ideal for pasta and potato salads. For toasts with Iberico ham and smoked foods. With sliced fruit such as orange, adding a touch of cinnamon (and sugar for those with a sweet tooth).

Mercedes' expert opinion

Oiltopia controls the entire chain from grove to bottle, and you can taste it in this Picual from Villa del Rio. It is a complex, intense Picual with the classic varietal profile executed to perfection. A great example of what an almazara (olive oil mill) with full vertical integration can achieve with the most widely planted variety in Spain.

<p>This Picual benefits from that vertical integration. Controlling the entire chain -- from the olive grove to the bottling line -- eliminates many of the difficulties that arise when olives pass through too many hands. The result is a complex, intense, well-executed Picual with everything you expect from the variety.</p> <p>Picual is one of the varieties with the highest oleic acid content on the market (75-82%) and one of the richest in polyphenols. That means a longer shelf life (it takes longer to go rancid) and more health benefits in every spoonful compared to other varieties.</p>

Why it's in Molino & Cata

A Picual from Villa del Rio backed by more than 50 years of history behind the mill, where traditional and cutting-edge agriculture coexist. A Picual that represents its variety perfectly -- sometimes the greatest virtue of an EVOO is having everything in its right place. This one achieves it.

This information is mandatory under EU Regulation 1169/2011 on food information to consumers.

Extra virgin olive oil is a fresh product. Its quality depends on proper storage and consuming it within its optimal date. If an online shop does not tell you which lot it will ship or when it expires, you have no way of knowing if what you receive is from this harvest or two years ago.

Be wary of shops that do not publish this information. We show it because we believe you have the right to know exactly what you are buying.

Frequently asked questions

Why does Picual taste bitter and pungent?

Because it is a variety with a high concentration of polyphenols (300-600 mg/kg in early harvest). Polyphenols are antioxidants that manifest as bitterness on the tongue and pungency in the throat or mouth. These are not defects -- they are signs of quality and freshness.

Is it true that Picual is better for cooking?

Varieties with a high oleic acid content, like Picual, are more stable than others when subjected to high temperatures. So yes, Picual is an excellent choice for cooking.

How long does it last unopened?

Picual is one of the varieties with the longest shelf life. Unopened and properly stored (in the dark and, above all, at a stable temperature between 14-20 C), it can last 18-24 months. Once opened, consume it within 6-8 weeks.
