Tasting Primer Día Picual

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

It is an oil to enjoy raw, where every nuance shows best, and to give dishes their finishing touch.

With 700 ml, there is enough for many weeks of 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 in Lahiguera.

It is the oil that opens the season, the one that holds the excitement of the first days in the field and the intense green of the olive before it ripens.

Picking so early yields very little oil from each kilo of fruit, which is why it is a limited selection, meant to be enjoyed raw and without hurry.

The organic grove it comes from is farmed without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, with a ground cover that protects the soil. The olives reach the mill on the day they are picked and are cold extracted, keeping intact the greenness that names the selection and that is noticeable the moment the bottle is opened.

How to enjoy Primer Día Picual

Toast with tomato.
Salads.
Carpaccios.
Aged cheeses.

Toast with grated tomato, a seasonal tomato salad or a beef carpaccio are the best settings for Primer Día. Added when serving, it transforms very simple dishes.

Primer Día Picual: the 700 ml bottle

The dark glass bottle protects the oil from light and looks good on the table. Seven hundred millilitres is a generous measure, finished within weeks with the oil still fresh.

For gifts there is the same bottle with an illustrated box.
