Tasting Primer Día Picual

Primer Día is a Picual of bright green colour and intense fruitiness, with the vegetal freshness of an olive picked before ripening. On the palate it shows the variety’s character, with present bitterness and pepperiness.

An oil like this is especially sensitive to light, and the tin protects it completely: its aromas stay intact to the last drop, something welcome in such an expressive oil.

250 ml is just enough for a few weeks of raw use, on toast, salads and dishes finished with a drizzle of green oil.

The first day of the harvest

Primer Día is Mergaoliva’s earliest selection: green Picual olives picked in early October in organic groves in Jaén and milled at Oleohiguera’s mill in Lahiguera.

Picking so early yields little oil from each kilo of olives, but in return the oil keeps a greenness and liveliness not repeated for the rest of the season. Organic farming, without synthetic products, completes the care.

The olives reach the mill on the day they are picked and are cold extracted, so that the oil keeps intact the green freshness that gives the selection its name and that greets anyone opening the tin.

How to enjoy Primer Día Picual

Toast with tomato.
Salads.
Chargrilled vegetables.
Fresh cheeses.

Toast with grated tomato and salt, chargrilled vegetables or a fresh cheese are enough to appreciate its intensity. It is also an ideal tin for the office or the holiday flat, where a good oil transforms any meal.

As a gesture, it makes a small and very pretty gift thanks to its illustration.

Primer Día Picual: the 250 ml tin

The tin is light, unbreakable and opaque: it protects the oil from light better than any bottle and travels well. Once opened, it is closed tightly after each use and kept somewhere cool.

Primer Día is also available in a 100 ml bottle and in a 700 ml bottle, with or without a gift box.
