Tierra Callada Temprano Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a premium Spanish extra virgin olive oil made from Picual olives harvested early in the season, typically in October while the olives are still green. Early harvest olive oils are more intense, more herbaceous, and higher in polyphenols and antioxidants.
Picual olives are known for producing robust olive oils with strong structure, high stability, and bold flavor. Because the olives are harvested early, this oil has higher levels of polyphenols and oleocanthal, natural compounds associated with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
This olive oil is intense, robust, and complex, with strong green aromas such as tomato leaf, green grass, herbs, and green almond. On the palate, it has noticeable bitterness and a spicy peppery finish, which are signs of high-quality early harvest olive oil.
This type of olive oil is best used as a finishing oil or for dishes with simple ingredients where the olive oil flavor can stand out.
This olive oil works especially well with:
• Salads
• Grilled vegetables
• Tomato dishes
• Pasta
• Meat
• Steak
• Roasted vegetables
• Beans and lentils
• Bread dipping
• Finishing dishes
Robust, herbaceous, and high in antioxidants, Tierra Callada Temprano Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil is an early harvest Spanish olive oil with intense green flavors and a peppery finish, ideal for finishing dishes and recipes with simple ingredients.
