The Picual extra virgin olive oil is a cultivar from Spain. Picual olives are the most commonly grown olive today for olive oil production. Picual trees are estimated to account for 25% of all olive oil production in the world. This varietal is very high in oil content, at 20-27% by weight, and is normally high in polyphenols. The oil has a big, green fruit flavor that recalls cut grass, tomato leaves, green herbs, a whiff of pine, and a black pepper finish.

Our oils are certified organic each year by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF).
They are certified as extra virgin olive oil each year by the California Olive Oil Council (COOC).
To gain COOC certification, an oil must comply with the requirements of both a chemical analysis and a sensory evaluation. COOC member producers must undertake this process following every harvest to ensure their oil meets the criteria to be considered extra virgin grade. Additionally, the process guarantees traceability. Through participation in the program, an oil is verified to be from the most recent harvest and produced only from olives grown in California.
