Picual oil: cultivation and use in gastronomy

It is widely used in the preparation of typical Spanish dishes, such as potato omelette, gazpacho and salad. However, it is also a perfect ingredient for preparing stews and frying, since its intense flavor is not lost with heat.

Picual olive oil has a high amount of antioxidants and oleic acid, thus providing numerous beneficial properties for health and being perfect for maintaining a balanced diet.

It is also highly valued internationally, being used in a large number of restaurants and homes around the world. Thanks to its flavor and aroma, it is a perfect accompaniment to dishes such as hummus, roast meats and pastas.
