Description Castillo de Canena Family Reserve Picual 500 ml
Reserva Familiar Picual is the flagship of Castillo de Canena, an early-harvest gem that for generations was reserved exclusively for the family. Today it is shared with lovers of fine olive oil in an edition that represents the best of each harvest.
This single-variety oil is made from green olives of the Picual variety, resulting in a product of great freshness, high antioxidant content and a very defined organoleptic profile.
On the nose there is a medium-high fruitiness with green notes of tomato, tomato plant and freshly cut grass, along with hints of fresh fruit.
On the palate it is robust and structured, with medium bitterness and balanced pungency. Ideal for hearty dishes such as red meat, aged cheeses or traditional stews.
This EVOO has earned the trust of numerous Michelin-starred chefs who use it in their dishes.

Frequently asked questions
The colour of olive oil can vary and is not always the same. It depends on several factors, such as the olive variety, the time of harvest and the production process. Early harvest oils have an intense green colour due to their high chlorophyll content, especially just after production. Over time, towards the end of the season, this shade can turn more golden or yellowish. This variation is natural and does not affect flavour or quality.
Early harvest oils are usually produced between October and November and stand out for their intensity and freshness. Ideally, enjoy them within the first 9–12 months after production to appreciate all their qualities. Although they do not expire, they do lose aromas and properties over time. Our advice: always choose oil from the current harvest and use it as soon as possible to enjoy it at its best.
Early harvest olive oil is made from olives picked before they reach optimum ripeness, usually between October and November. This process takes more effort, as green olives yield less oil and are harder to harvest, but the result is a superior extra virgin olive oil with intense, fresh and fruity flavours. These oils also have a high content of antioxidants such as polyphenols, which makes them healthier and more aromatic.
To keep your extra virgin olive oil in perfect condition, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Ideally keep it between 16 °C and 22 °C, and always tightly closed to prevent oxidation. Keep it away from heat sources such as the hob or direct sun. If you have bought a large container, you can fill a smaller bottle for everyday use and keep the rest well protected. That way it will keep all its flavour, aroma and properties for longer.
