Picual (Spain)

Description

This oil is the classic Picual from Jaén, Spain. Tomato-forward in every way, with a strong initial aroma of tomato leaves and fresh-cut grass. The flavor then continues in the mouth as green tomato, bell pepper, fresh lettuce, and bitter endive, before rounding into a warming black peppercorn finish with hints of baking spices and warm cinnamon.  Well balanced in aroma and taste, this is not overly bitter, and the pungency is bright and spicy.  Perfect for scrambling eggs, frying bread for a breakfast sandwich, roasting potatoes, and searing meats, this oil can be used from breakfast to dinner.
