The Essence 100 ml brings the same early-harvest Picual extra virgin olive oil from the Oro Al-Andalus family estate in Málaga into the most practical format in the range. Compact, travel-friendly, and presented in a glass bottle, it is designed for those who want quality with them wherever they go, and for businesses looking for a refined option for personalized corporate gifting.
Cold-pressed in October from Picual olives handpicked in the first weeks of autumn, this oil carries 763.8 mg/kg of natural polyphenols and an acidity of 0.13%. Those numbers reflect what early harvesting actually delivers: more intensity, more antioxidants, and a flavor profile that is distinctly more complex than standard production oils.
What it tastes like
The aroma is intense and fruity, with notes of olive leaf and green tomato. On the palate it is smooth yet robust, with a balanced bitterness and a peppery spiciness that are the signature of a genuine early harvest Picual. The vibrant green color reflects both the freshness of the pressing and the high chlorophyll content that comes with harvesting early in the season.
How to use it
Its bold flavor and high stability make it versatile across both raw and cooked applications. Use it as a finishing oil over salads, fresh cheeses, or avocado toast. Bring it to the table for bread and tapas. Add it to gazpacho, roasted vegetables, or marinades for meat and seafood. It also holds up well to higher temperatures, making it a reliable choice for sautés, stews, and light frying when you want the oil to contribute flavor rather than disappear into the background.
