Oro de Bailén Picual Picual is one of the most recognisable oils from Jaén: bright green in the glass, with an intense fresh-olive fruitiness and an aromatic complexity led by green banana, almond and green tomato. It is made at the Casa del Agua estate in Villanueva de la Reina, at the gateway to Andalusia.
On the palate it is full and well structured, sweet at first and lightly peppery at the end, with the almond aftertaste that makes it so elegant. A Picual with character that is nonetheless surprisingly balanced.
