Basilippo Picual EVOO 2025 Harvest 500ml

2025–2026 Harvest

This exceptional Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced from Picual olives grown at Finca La Merced, located in the heart of the Los Alcores region of Alcalá de Guadaíra. The olives are hand-harvested at their optimal moment of ripeness — while still green — to preserve intensity, freshness, and aromatic complexity.

To achieve its remarkable quality, 10 kilos of olives were required to produce just one liter of oil (5 kilos would be typical), ensuring an outstanding balance between concentration and yield.

Tasting Profile 2025–2026

Type:
Extra Virgin Olive Oil with intense green fruitiness.

Aroma:
A bold green fruit profile leads the way, with pronounced notes of Mediterranean brush and aromatic herbs such as fresh thyme and oregano. Freshly cut grass, green apple, and just-picked olives add brightness, while delicate hints of fig leaf round out the bouquet.

Palate:
A gently sweet entry evolves into a medium-high bitterness with light astringency and a balanced, medium peppery finish that fills the mouth without overpowering. The herbal notes from the nose carry through beautifully, with olive leaf becoming more prominent on the finish, alongside impressions of tomato vine and green almond.

Overall:
Complex and expressive, with a distinctive memory of the Mediterranean landscape and its layered vegetal aromas.

Pairings

Excellent with roasted or grilled vegetables (carrots, asparagus), aged and fresh cheeses, green sauces, crusty bread for breakfast or aperitif, and traditional salmorejo.

Structured. Herbaceous. Intensely Mediterranean.
