Mild Intensity

The 2024 Portuguese Picual is one of the most complex oils in our current collection. This balanced example displays green fruity notes of kiwi followed by a pleasing amount of pepper and a lingering floral finish. Our taste panel awarded this a high fruitiness score.
Our partner producer (SAOV) in Portugal is using a high vacuum during malaxation to remove all of the oxygen in this processing stage where the oil spends the most time and is most prone to oxidation. This cutting edge and very technical method preserves the phenolic content, the overall chemistry plus the flavor characteristics while reducing other oxidation markers.
*Biophenols: 283.7 ppm FFA: 0.26
Oleic Acid: 76.79 Peroxide: 4.79
DAGs: 93.8 *PPP: <0.6
Squalene: 8,178.10
