A Picual from volcanic La Mancha
Olivapalacios grows its olive trees, mills them in its own mill and bottles the oil at Finca Los Palacios. That short chain, from tree to tin, makes it possible to choose the harvest moment and keep the oil fresh.
The volcanic soils of the Campo de Calatrava give this Picual a very recognisable personality: intense and green, with tomato-leaf notes that set it apart from Picual grown elsewhere.
How to enjoy Palacio de los Olivos Picual
- Toast with tomato and a generous drizzle of oil.
- Gazpacho, salmorejo and cold summer soups.

- Oven-roasted potatoes and vegetables.
- Aged cheeses and Manchego pickles.
A tin for everyday Picual
The 3-litre tin protects Picual from light and oxygen better than many containers and is ideal for cooking daily with a quality oil. It keeps best tightly closed, away from the heat of the hob, with a small cruet filled from it.
Frequently asked questions
Is it a very intense oil?
It is a Picual with intense green fruitiness, and bitterness and pepperiness that are present but balanced.
Is it good for cooking?
Yes. Picual is very heat-stable, so it works very well in stews, the oven and frying, as well as raw.
How does it differ from the estate's Arbequina?
The Picual is more intense and green, with tomato-leaf notes; the Arbequina is sweeter and softer.
Where is it made?
At Finca Los Palacios in Almagro (Ciudad Real).
How long does a 3-litre tin last?
In a household of two to four people cooking daily it usually lasts several weeks, long enough to enjoy the Picual in good condition if the tin is kept closed, cool and away from light.
