Castillo de Canena Picual Olive Oil – Premium Spanish EVOO 17oz (500ml)

Discover Castillo de Canena Picual Olive Oil

From the storied Castillo de Canena estate in Andalusia, this Family Reserve Extra Virgin Olive Oil embodies centuries of craft, traceability, and tradition. The 17-ounce bottle preserves an aroma-rich, vibrant oil that speaks to the careful care taken from harvest to press.

Harvest, Processing, and The Flavor You Expect

This oil is produced from olives harvested early while they’re still green, a method that, per tradition, requires more fruit per bottle but yields a bold, structured oil with a distinctive peppery finish. The olives are mechanically cold pressed within hours of harvest to preserve intensity and depth, ensuring bright aroma and a lively mouthfeel that carries the essence of a sunlit Andalusian grove.

• Early harvest contributes to a vibrant, green-fruity character with a robust structure.
• Cold pressing preserves aroma, freshness, and the oil’s natural integrity.

Flavor Profile and Sensory Experience

The oil opens with green, fresh notes reminiscent of ripe tomato and tomato plant, followed by hints of herbs, green wheat, green almond, and a touch of green banana. A delicate thyme floral lift weaves through a balanced, harmonious texture, finishing with a lively peppery kick that lingers pleasantly on the palate.

• Green tomato and herb-forward aroma.
