Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil:

Elegance in Every Drop

At Axioma, our Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil represents the very essence of culinary excellence. This variety, native to the warm province of Jaén, is a jewel of nature that goes beyond being a simple condiment; It is a complete sensory experience.

Origin and Characteristics of the Picual Variety:

Early extra virgin olive oil is the summum, that is, the most of the most or "the best of the good." It is an elixir of life and not just a gourmet product.

The picual variety is very characteristic of the province of Jaén and one of the most valued in the world for its stability and durability as well as for its fruitiness, aromas and intensity.

Its composition has the highest content of oleic acid, low in linoleic acid and medium in palmitic acid. The high polyphenol content gives it its great personality with bitter and spicy attributes. The vitamin E it contains makes it a great natural antioxidant.

Among its organoleptic attributes, freshly cut grass and green almond predominate, with nuances of artichoke, green banana and pepper.

Where Freshness Becomes Art

Picual Early Extra Virgin Olive Oil is our commitment to freshness at its finest. The term "early" reflects its origin, harvested when the olives are at their optimal point of ripeness. At Axioma, we consider that an 8 in fruitiness in an early wine is an excellent grade, and it is precisely that quality standard that we seek to achieve in each bottle.

Characteristics of Early Picual:

  • Abundant Freshness: This oil captures the freshness of the olives at their perfect moment, offering an intense and vibrant fruitiness.
  • Art in Every Drop: Early harvesting and care in its production result in an oil that is truly a masterpiece of nature.

  • Unmistakable Aroma and Flavor: The high polyphenol content gives it its great personality with bitter and spicy attributes. The vitamin E it contains makes it a great natural antioxidant. Among its organoleptic attributes, freshly cut grass and green almond predominate, with nuances of artichoke and green banana.

CATA's notes

Intense green fruity oil, predominating freshly cut grass and green almond, with nuances of artichoke, green banana.

Its entry into the mouth is sweet, with a slight bitterness and medium spiciness persisting over time.

These organoleptic characteristics make it a very balanced and harmonious oil, which gives it a subtle elegance.

More than Oil:

A Tradition that Lubricates History

«Olive trees have lubricated the wheels of civilization since Jericho raised its walls and ancient Greece was the news of the day.

Since the first Egyptians, they have symbolized the joyful and the sacred in the Mediterranean.

But they are something simpler than all that: the next time the sun is shining and the tomatoes are ripe, take a piece of bread, sprinkle it with fresh thyme and think about what you will dip it with. This is my case »

(Mort Rosenblum)

At Axioma, we share this sentiment rooted in simplicity and authenticity. Our extra virgin olive oil is not simply a product; it is a bearer of traditions, a link to history and a companion in moments of culinary delight. More than oil, it is the essence of a shared experience, a story that unfolds with each drop. Axiom, where the richness of tradition meets the freshness of the present.
