Tasting notes
A Picual with a green leaf aroma, tomato plant, and endive. Notes of rocket and spinach appear. An extra virgin olive oil with many vegetal nuances. On the palate it shows its character from the very start, with bitterness and pungency present but very well balanced. Aftertaste of lettuce stem and banana peel. It leaves the mouth feeling fresh.
Pairing
Ideal for dishes where you want to add vegetal touches, such as potato, pasta, or quinoa-based salads. For toast with Iberian cured meats and smoked products. Pairs with dark chocolate and chopped tropical fruits.
Mercedes' expert opinion
UNO donates a percentage of its profits to NGOs, changing each year. This year it collaborates with Babies Uganda, but what matters to me as a taster is that the EVOO lives up to the cause, and this one does. This Picual has many vegetal nuances: green leaf, tomato plant, endive, rocket, and spinach. On the palate it shows character from the start with balanced bitterness and pungency that leave the mouth fresh. It is charitable and it is good -- both things at once.

All about UNO Un Aceite Bueno Picual
UNO has a quality that no other oil in our catalogue has: it donates 30% of its profits to charity. It was the first charitable EVOO in Spain. But that only makes sense if the oil is good -- and it is.
The Picual olives are picked in October from groves near Torrequebradilla, in the Jaen countryside. No more than 8 hours pass between harvest and extraction. The result: a complex and intense EVOO.
An oil that tastes good and does good. It is that simple. Every bottle sold contributes directly. It is proof that a charitable project and an exceptional-quality oil can share the same bottle.
Why it's in Molino & Cata
30% of profits are donated to a charitable cause that changes every year. But we do not carry it for that reason -- we carry it because it is also an excellent oil with a green profile that convinces. That an oil can be charitable and outstanding at the same time seems reason enough to have it in the oleoteca.
