7,33 €/bottleBox of 9 bottles of 250 ml: 65,95 € VAT included
Aceituno Picual in a 250 ml bottle: an early-harvest extra virgin olive oil, cold extracted from olive trees farmed almost entirely by hand above 1,200 metres, near Valdepeñas de Jaén. Intense, green and herbaceous, it is the size made for everyday use at the table.
The 250 ml bottle of Aceituno Picual is the size designed for the table: it sits next to the salt, pours easily and makes it possible to enjoy a memorable mountain oil every day. Its olive trees grow above 1,200 metres near Valdepeñas de Jaén and are farmed almost entirely by hand.
The olives are picked while still green and the oil is cold extracted, so it keeps an intense, herbaceous and very expressive profile, a faithful reflection of a grove growing in tough conditions.

Tasting notes
Nose
Intense and green: cut grass, olive leaf and the freshness of olives before they change colour.
Palate
Full-bodied, with a frank bitterness that balances the power of its fruitiness.
Finish
A lively, long pepperiness, the hallmark of high-altitude Picual.
The effort of a mountain olive grove
Aceituno defines its oils with one word: effort. Growing olive trees at that altitude means cold winters, difficult slopes and work that barely allows machinery. Very few producers keep this kind of grove today, and Aceituno is one of them.
That hardship is rewarded in the glass. High-altitude oils tend to be more aromatic and green, and this Aceituno Picual is a good example: powerful, clean and with a very distinctive personality.
Where Aceituno Picual shines in the kitchen
- A dish of oil with bread for dipping at the start of a meal.
- Tomato, onion and tuna salad.
- Barbecued meats and lamb chops.
- Gazpacho and ajoblanco, as a finishing touch.
- Boiled potatoes with coarse salt and paprika.
The 250 ml bottle
The ideal size for keeping a special oil on the table without it staying open for months. It also works very well as a gift or for anyone who wants to get to know the brand before moving to larger sizes.
With Aceituno Picual, keep the bottle closed and away from direct light and the heat of the hob: that way the green aroma of the early harvest lasts to the final drop.
