For homes where ALBA is already the usual oil and used without measuring.

Key facts

Variety: Picual
Origin: Lahiguera, Jaén
Harvest: Early October, early harvest
Intensity: High
Farming: Certified organic, ES-ECO-001-AN
Format: 3 L tin

Early harvest, unrationed

Nose

Fig leaf and tomato plant, banana peel and almond: the green perfume of Picual picked in early October.

Palate

Intense fruitiness and a fluid, balanced palate that goes with all kinds of dishes without disappearing.

Finish

A clean, vegetal finish, the kind still noticeable on the plate even when the oil has been cooked.

With three litres, Mergaoliva ALBA Picual stops being the oil for special occasions and becomes the everyday one. Picual is also a very stable variety: it keeps well in the tin through the months of use and withstands the heat of cooking.

In homes that cook a lot, this format avoids buying oil every few weeks and means always using the same one, with a recognisable flavour that becomes part of family cooking.

From mill to pantry

Oleohiguera picks ALBA’s Picual in early October in organic groves in Lahiguera (Jaén) and cold extracts it. The large tin is the format closest to how oil used to be bought in villages: straight from the mill, for the whole year.

Buying in this format reduces packaging and leaves oil at home for many weeks.

In the kitchen

Stews and sofritos
Oven roasts
The week’s salads
Homemade preserves

With a three-litre tin, ALBA reaches everything: the Sunday stew, oven potatoes, the week’s salads and even vegetables preserved in oil or a cheese in oil made at home. It also lends a green fragrance to sponge cakes and rustic breads made with olive oil.

The 3-litre tin of Mergaoliva ALBA Picual

The opaque, sturdy golden tin protects the oil from light throughout its use. The most practical way is to refill an everyday cruet from it and keep the tin closed, somewhere cool.

It is a very convenient format for large families or keen cooks. It is also available in 250 ml and 1 litre, and as a 3 litre bag in box.
