Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500ml – OLIVAR SANTAMARIA
Gold Medal Winner
The olive oil that earned the gold. Olivar Santamaria 100% Picual Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil has just been recognized by one of the most prestigious olive oil competitions in the world — the 2024 London International Olive Oil Competition — taking the Gold Medal for Best in Class and confirming what professional chefs and discerning home cooks have known for years: this is among the finest Picual EVOOs being produced anywhere on earth.
The numbers tell a powerful story. First cold-pressed from the celebrated Picual varietal in Jaen — the olive capital of the world — this oil delivers an extraordinary polyphenol count of 668 mg/kg with 350 mg/kg of hydroxytyrosol and 316 mg/kg of tyrosol, placing it among the most antioxidant-rich olive oils available anywhere. An acidity of just 0.16% — exceptionally low — confirms the absolute peak quality and freshness of the fruit at harvest. A fruitiness intensity of 6.2 reveals the layered, complex aromatic profile that gives this oil its medal-worthy character. And the high smoke point makes it as exceptional in a screaming-hot pan as it is drizzled cold over the finest finishing applications.
Medium to mild in intensity with wonderful natural fruitiness and complex aromas, this oil enhances every dish without overpowering it. Drizzle it over vanilla ice cream and the result will surprise you in the best possible way. Use it to dress a salad, dip crusty bread, finish a roasted vegetable, or fry to crispy perfection — wherever it goes, it elevates.
Perfect for: Dressings, finishing, dipping, drizzling over vanilla ice cream, roasting, frying, sautéing, and any application where genuinely award-winning olive oil quality makes a visible difference.
