How it shows in the glass
Nose
Fig leaf and tomato plant, with a background of banana peel and almond: the green perfume of a Picual picked at the start of the season.
Palate
Intense fruitiness and a fluid, balanced palate. Like any good Picual, it is a stable oil that stands up well to the heat of the pan.
Finish
A clean close, with the green memory of leaf and almond that stays with the oil to the last sip.
That is why the one-litre tin makes sense: it lets you enjoy Mergaoliva ALBA Picual raw and also in a sofrito or sautéed vegetables, where it leaves its green aroma on the plate.
The Jaén countryside in October
ALBA’s olives are picked green in early October in organic groves in Lahiguera, in the Jaén countryside. Oleohiguera cold extracts them at its own mill.
The illustration on the tin, with a harvester among olive branches, recalls the work of those first days of the season, when the fruit is still green.
In the kitchen
- Sofritos and sautéed vegetables
- Pisto, wild asparagus and a crisp-edged fried egg
- Salads and roast vegetables
- Toast with tomato and a generous drizzle
A pisto, sautéed wild asparagus or a crisp-edged fried egg gain a great deal from an early harvest oil. Even a plain Spanish omelette changes with Mergaoliva ALBA Picual, and raw, the same tin provides weeks of salads and toast.
Mergaoliva ALBA Picual in a 1 L tin
The tin lets no light through, so the oil keeps its aromas better than in a clear bottle. It is light, unbreakable and easy to store in the pantry.
A litre fits any kitchen: it takes little space, lasts several weeks and calls for few decisions. The easiest way is to refill a small cruet from it and keep the tin tightly closed, in a cool cupboard. It is also available in 250 ml and 3 litres.
