Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Medium to Robust Intensity

Our Portuguese Picual Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil is vibrant, structured, and beautifully expressive, offering a balance of freshness, complexity, and strength.

Tasting Notes

The 2025 harvest displays notes of unripe stone fruit with a delicate floral center, followed by a clean tomato leaf finish. Lively and well-defined, this oil delivers both elegance and intensity.

What Makes This Oil Exceptional

Our partner producer in Portugal employs a high-vacuum malaxation process, removing oxygen during the most oxidation-prone stage of production. This advanced technique preserves the oil’s phenolic content, chemistry, and flavour integrity, resulting in exceptional freshness and stability.
