ACANTO PICUAL EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
Acanto Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Origin: Sierra Mágina, Andalusia, Spain
This robust single-variety extra virgin olive oil is produced exclusively from Picual olives cultivated in the prestigious Sierra Mágina protected designation of origin. The Picual variety is renowned for creating highly aromatic oils with intense fruity characteristics, featuring notes of green olive, apple, and fresh herbs, complemented by a beautiful peppery finish and subtle bitter undertones. Early harvest and immediate cold-pressing ensure maximum retention of antioxidants and the variety's distinctive bold character.
Picual olive oil boasts exceptional stability due to its high oleic acid content, which contributes to reducing LDL cholesterol whilst increasing beneficial HDL cholesterol. Its notably high polyphenol content (often exceeding 580mg/kg) makes it a true superfood, whilst its robust flavour profile has made it Spain's most celebrated olive variety. This oil represents the authentic taste of Andalusian olive oil tradition
Magnificent for drizzling over grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty salads where its bold character can shine. Excellent for dipping with crusty bread, finishing pasta dishes, and adding depth to marinades. Its high stability makes it superb for higher-temperature cooking whilst maintaining its nutritional benefits and distinctive flavour profile.
Producer: Acanto sources from carefully selected groves within the Sierra Mágina Natural Park, where traditional cultivation methods meet modern extraction techniques. The region's unique microclimate and elevation create optimal conditions for Picual olives, which are harvested at peak ripeness and processed within 24 hours to preserve their exceptional quality and authentic terroir characteristics.

Picual vs Hojiblanca
Picual and Hojiblanca are two of Spain's finest olive varieties, each with distinct personalities.
Picual is bold and robust with intense fruity flavours, pronounced bitterness, and a strong peppery kick. Its high stability and exceptional health benefits make it ideal for those who love powerful, assertive oils.
Hojiblanca offers a gentler approach with balanced fruitiness, mild bitterness, and subtle warmth. Its versatile character works beautifully in everyday cooking, making it perfect for newcomers to premium olive oil or anyone seeking an elegant, approachable flavour that complements rather than dominates dishes.
