Castillo de Canena Picual Olive Oil – 17oz/500ml | Luxury Spanish Estate EVOO

Experience Castillo de Canena Picual EVOO

Castillo de Canena Picual Olive Oil is a celebration of Spain’s heritage and meticulous craft. Produced on the historic estate in Andalusia, this Family Reserve extra virgin olive oil embodies centuries of tradition, precise traceability, and a hands-on approach to quality that begins with the fruit.

Why this oil shines

Olives are picked early in the season while green and vibrant, which means more fruit per bottle and higher natural polyphenol content. Expect a bold structure with a signature peppery finish that lingers on the palate, a hallmark of its lively character.

The production flow is deliberate and careful: olives are mechanical cold pressed within hours of harvest, without heat or chemicals, to preserve intense aroma, fresh flavor, and antioxidant integrity. The result is a green, fragrant oil with a nuanced profile featuring tomato, tomato plant, herbs, green wheat, almond, and green banana, complemented by a delicate thyme note that adds a floral lift.
