About the oil mill

In Tabernas (Almería), under a sky with more than
3,000 hours of sun per year, is the family estate that gives rise to Oro del Desierto. This unique location, with a dry climate and no abrupt temperature changes, favors the organic cultivation of the olive grove.

The olives are handpicked and
crushed within eight hours of harvesting, using cold extraction methods that preserve all the fruit's properties.

The result is an organic extra virgin olive oil, nationally and internationally awarded, characterized by its fresh aroma and impeccable flavor. Oro del Desierto is the perfect combination of tradition, sustainability, and technology, an EVOO that reflects the uniqueness of Europe's only desert.

Aove features Picual

La variedad Picual es la más representativa del aceite de oliva virgen extra en España, abarcando más del 50 % del olivar en nuestro país, especialmente en la provincia de Jaén, aunque también está muy presente en otras zonas de Andalucía como Córdoba o Granada. Su nombre se debe a la forma de su fruto, que termina en una pequeña punta o “pico”.

Su color puede variar del verde brillante al dorado, dependiendo del grado de maduración de la aceituna y del momento de recolección. Es un aceite con una gran estabilidad oxidativa, lo que significa que se conserva muy bien sin perder propiedades, aromas ni sabor con el paso del tiempo. Su estructura compleja y su perfil potente lo hacen inconfundible.

Todo un símbolo de identidad en la cultura del AOVE, el aceite de oliva virgen extra Picual destaca por su intensidad y riqueza sensorial, así como por su alta concentración de polifenoles y un porcentaje de ácido oleico superior al 75%, lo que se traduce en propiedades beneficiosas para el sistema cardiovascular, ayudando a reducir el colesterol LDL (colesterol malo) y a aumentar el HDL (colesterol bueno).

Pairing

Picual EVOO has a medium to intense fruitiness, with notes of olive leaf, tomato, fig tree, green almond, and freshly cut grass. On the palate, it offers a powerful flavor, with a marked bitterness and a persistent final spiciness,
although balanced.

Picual extra virgin olive oil is perfect for those seeking intense, structured, and characterful flavors. When raw, its best version is shown on sourdough toast with grated tomato or avocado, where it displays all its power. It is also ideal for dressing salads with bitter or spicy ingredients, such as arugula, escarole, red onion, mustard, or cured cheeses.

In hot dishes, it withstands high temperatures very well, making it excellent for crispy frying, meat stews, sofritos, baked rice, stews, and vegetable sautés. Additionally, it also works as a final touch
in cold creams like salmorejo or ajoblanco, enhancing their flavor.

FAQs

Is the color of the oil always the same?

The color of olive oil It can vary and is not always the same. It depends on several factors, such as the variety of the olive, the moment of collection and the elaboration process. Early harvest oils have an intense green color for their high chlorophyll content, especially after its elaboration. Over time, towards the end of the campaign, this tone can turn to more golden or yellowish nuances. This variation is natural and does not affect its flavor or quality.

How long does my oil endure?

Early oils are generally elaborated between October and November and stand out for their intensity and freshness. The ideal is to consume them in the first 9-12 months since its elaboration to enjoy all its qualities. Although they do not expire, they do lose aromas and properties over time. Our recommendation: Always bet on the current harvest oil and consume it as soon as possible to savor it at your best.

What does it mean that an oil is "early harvest"?

An early harvest oil is obtained from olives collected before its optimal maturation moment, usually between October and November. This process requires more effort, since green olives produce less oil and their collection is more complex, but the result is an extra virgin of superior quality, with intense, fresh and fruity flavors. In addition, these oils have a high content of antioxidants, such as polyphenols, which make it healthier and more aromatic.

How did I keep my oil?

To keep your extra virgin olive oil in perfect condition, keep it in a Fresh, dry and away from direct light. The ideal is to keep it between 16 ° C and 22 ° C, and always well closed to avoid oxidation. Avoid having it near heat sources such as kitchen or sun. If you have bought carafe, you can fill in a smaller bottle for daily use and keep the rest well protected. Thus you will keep all its flavor, aroma and properties for longer.
