Elogio Premium Picual, 500 ml bottle
Price range: 22,90 € through 516,60 € VAT included
Early-harvest Picual from mountain olive groves in Pozo Alcón, Jaén. An intense, green and elegant extra virgin olive oil in a 500 ml matt black glass bottle with gift box.
Elogio Premium is born on the slopes of Pozo Alcón, high in the hills of Jaén, where the Noguera Martínez family looks after a mountain olive grove that grows slowly among stone and altitude. From Picual olives picked at the very start of the season comes an intense, green extra virgin olive oil full of nuances.
The 500 ml bottle, in matt black tinted glass with a gift box, protects the oil from light and makes a striking present. It is a Picual that reveals itself from the first sip: character, freshness and an elegance that does not go unnoticed.

Tasting notes
Nose
Green fruitiness of early olives, with herbaceous and olive-leaf notes typical of high-altitude Picual.
Palate
Powerful and clean, with a noticeable bitterness that speaks of its early harvest and mountain origin.
Finish
A persistent, well-integrated pepperiness that leaves a fresh, long sensation.
The mountain olive groves of Pozo Alcón
Pozo Alcón looks out over the Sierra de Cazorla, and its olive trees grow on hillsides where work is slower and yields are smaller. In the area known as Las Hoyas, the Noguera Martínez family tends each tree carefully, aware that altitude and temperature contrasts produce oils with more personality.
That uniqueness of mountain olive growing is what Elogio wants to express in every bottle: an early-harvest Picual with more aromatic strength than a lowland oil and an identity deeply tied to the landscape of Jaén.
Where it shines in the kitchen
- Toast with tomato, where its bitterness and pepperiness stand out.
- Beef or mushroom carpaccio, with a few drops to finish.
- Salmorejo and gazpacho, as a final touch.
- Grilled meats and freshly roasted vegetables.
- Aged sheep cheeses, for an intense pairing.
A bottle designed to protect the oil
The matt black glass blocks light, one of the main enemies of olive oil, and the gift box completes a presentation that is ideal for giving. Its freshness lasts longer when the bottle is closed well after each use and keep it somewhere cool, away from kitchen heat.
