Tasting Palacio de los Olivos duo
Picual
Intense green fruitiness, with tomato leaf and aromatic herbs; bitterness and pepperiness present and balanced.
Arbequina
Fresh fruitiness with apple and banana; sweet, mild and very gentle on the palate.
The tasting
Tasting the Arbequina first and then the Picual shows the difference in intensity clearly.
Two varieties from one estate
Olivapalacios grows its olive trees at Finca Los Palacios, in the Campo de Calatrava, and makes and bottles its oils on site. Working both varieties in the same volcanic setting makes it easy to compare what each olive brings.
The Picual shows the strength and greenness of La Mancha; the Arbequina, its sweeter, more delicate side. Together they form a duo that covers almost every use in the kitchen.
How to enjoy Palacio de los Olivos duo
- Picual on tomato toast, stews and meats.
- Arbequina with white fish, mild salads and baking.
- A home tasting with bread and a little green apple between oils.
- A thoughtful present for a dinner with friends.
A box made for giving
The box protects both bottles from light and arrives ready to give. The 250 ml size allows both oils to be enjoyed at their best. They keep best tightly closed and somewhere cool.
To get the most from it, taste it raw first, on bread or a simple salad, and then in the kitchen: a good oil shows as much when finishing a dish as when cooking over gentle heat. It is best enjoyed in the months after opening, while its aromas are intact.
