Picual Special "LC Esencia" - 500 ml

Picual Special "LC Esencia" - 500 ml by La Carrera, an award-winning cooperative in Úbeda, Jaén.

There is olive oil, and then there is early harvest Picual. LC Esencia is the crown jewel of La Carrera, captured during those fleeting weeks in October when the olives are still vibrant green. This precision in timing results in an Extra Virgin Olive Oil of extraordinary intensity, packing all the wild energy of the Andalusian countryside into a single bottle.

What sets La Carrera apart is their mastery of the temperature. By using cold extraction immediately after the olives leave the tree, they lock in the high polyphenol content and that striking emerald hue. This isn't just a condiment; it is a raw fruit juice that celebrates the rugged character of the Jaén landscape.

The first pour reveals a complex bouquet of tomato vine, freshly cut grass, and green fig. On the palate, it is bold and structured—expect a clean bitterness followed by a sophisticated, peppery kick that lingers just long enough to remind you of its purity and strength.

This is a finishing oil in every sense. Drizzle it over a steaming cream of pumpkin soup, use it to crown a plate of aged Manchego, or simply enjoy it with a pinch of sea salt and crusty bread to let the "Esencia" truly shine.

Taste the vibrant intensity of Jaén’s finest harvest.
