The Andalusian olive variety Picuda

The Picuda olive owes its name to an unusual shape. Because where other olives are rounded oval, the Picuda has a small tip that resembles a beak (= Spanish pico). The typical olive variety of Andalusia is dark purple in color when ripe. For Mueloliva's first-class extra virgin olive oil, however, it is removed from the tree before the ripening process is complete. Every year, the olive growers have to determine the exact harvest time, which is necessary to obtain a wonderfully aromatic olive oil. After all, the finished extra virgin olive oil should not only taste unique, but also contain all the healthy active ingredients of the Picuda olive.

A high content of linoleic acid is typical of the Picuda olive. It also has a lot of vitamin E and is rich in polyphenols. With a regular, daily consumption of around 50 milliliters of the high-quality, extra virgin olive oil, as recommended by the Mediterranean diet, this means the following advantages for you:

• Clogging of the arteries is prevented and thus also diseases such as heart attacks or strokes.
• The oxidation of fats in the bloodstream is reduced.
• The regulation of the cholesterol level is supported because bad cholesterol decreases and good cholesterol increases.
• High blood pressure is counteracted and
• the body's immune system is strengthened.

The olive growers of Mueloliva put a lot of effort in order for you to enjoy all these benefits. Because only with loving and conscientious care of the olive trees, with a conscientious and quick harvest, with meticulously precise and fast processing and meticulous hygiene during storage, both the high-quality, healthy ingredients and the incomparable aromas can be preserved.

Mueloliva Picuda, single variety and aromatic

As soon as you open the can, you'll know why Mueloliva Picuda is such a hit with experts and consumers around the world. Because the organoleptic properties of this pure olive juice are unique. You can expect the tart scent of green, ripe olives, the smell of freshly cut grass, green herbs and leaves, as well as the fruity aroma of apples and bananas.

In the mouth, the top oil initially develops a slight sweetness, which turns into a weak but typical bitterness on the palate and then goes off with a subtle spiciness in the throat. A pleasant, slightly almond-like taste remains in the mouth. Mueloliva Picuda is an overall sweet, delicate, pure olive juice, fresh and pleasant on the palate with a fruity aroma.

So that the unique Mueloliva Picuda retains its full bouquet and high value for a long time at home, you should store it professionally. Keep the following in mind:

1. Because a 5 liter canister cannot be used up so quickly, fill a small amount of the high-quality oil into a dark 0.5 liter glass bottle screw cap off. Firstly, this has the advantage that the olive oil can be poured out and dosed more easily and secondly, less oxygen gets into the olive oil canister.
2. Make sure that both the 5 liter canister and the small 0.5 liter glass bottle are closed well after each use.
3. In order to protect the canister from heat, place it in the basement, in the pantry or in a kitchen base cabinet.
4. If possible, keep the olive oil in the glass bottle away from the stove.
