Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500ml

18.50

Description

Extra virgin olive oil with an intense green fruitiness (+7). On the nose, the aromas of fresh grass, alfalfa, plantain, purslane, daisies, and dandelion are clearly perceived. Deeper inhalations reveal aromatic plants such as fresh oregano, sage leaves, fennel, burnet, and wild calamint. This complexity of aromas is expressed on the palate alongside the apple and green almond notes typical of the early harvest of the Arbequina variety, leaving a long and smooth aftertaste of tomato, mallow, borage, and thistle leaves. The peppery sensation (+4) is fresh and crisp and remains slightly above the bitterness (+3), which is present in the tasting notes of the wild plants from its surroundings.

Opinions

Good for the soul…And for the stomach!

“At the risk of becoming mystical, I would say that a visit to Finca Fontclara is good for the soul. And if we finish with an oil tasting and an aperitif, it is also great for the stomach!”

Marta Ramos, visitor

The essence of Empordà

“Fontclara extra virgin olive oil has the property of condensing in a single drop what, for many, is the essence of the Empordà: its flavor, its aromas, its mood… In short: its soul.”

Laura Conde, journalist

A place to disconnect

“Visiting the Fontclara estate is, without a doubt, an experience that should be lived at least once in a lifetime. It is like entering another world, the perfect place to disconnect from the world among olive groves.”

Joan Pérez, visitor

An oil capable of changing any dish

“A few drops of Fontclara extra virgin olive oil are capable of giving new dimensions to any dish: they add incredible nuances to a simple steamed vegetable! At home it is essential.”
