Picual olive oil has a vigorous, open appearance, with plenty of density at the top. Its fruit is ovoid and pointed. When ripe, its color is dark purple.

The oil is highly aromatic, greenish-yellow in color, with a slightly bitter, spicy and very round taste. It leaves an aftertaste of fresh almonds. It is high in polyphenols and oleic acid. In the kitchen, Picual is a perfect match for grilled meats, a mixture of eggs and vegetables, or any type of fried fish.
