Picual de España - Vibrant Spanish Flavour, Everyday Heart Care
Description
Early-harvest Picual olive oil from Jaén, bringing fresh tomato-leaf character, natural polyphenols and Mediterranean pleasure to your daily table.
Attimo’s Picual de España is a single-origin extra virgin olive oil made from 100% Picual olives. Sourced directly from a family producer in Jaén, Andalucía, the olives are harvested early and cold-pressed within hours to capture their vibrant green character.
Expect aromas of fresh tomato leaf, cut grass and Mediterranean herbs, followed by a pleasantly bitter, peppery finish. Expressive and versatile, it brings generous flavour to simple ingredients.
Why it belongs in Heart Flow
Caring for your heart can begin with what you reach for in the kitchen. Olive oil provides predominantly unsaturated fats, and replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels.
Use Picual in place of butter in suitable dishes, whisk it into dressings or spoon it over vegetables and pulses. It makes a heart-conscious food choice an enjoyable part of everyday life.
Its reported 675 mg/kg of total polyphenols adds to its distinctive character. These naturally occurring plant compounds contribute to olive oil’s bitterness, pepperiness and resistance to oxidation.
