Festive Cooking

Our Brindisa Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil showcases Spain’s most widely grown olive variety, prized for its intensity and resilience. Robust and herbaceous, with a peppery kick and gently bitter finish, it offers aromas of tomato leaf, almond and fresh fruit. Naturally high in polyphenols, Picual is exceptionally stable, making it as suitable for high-temperature cooking as it is for drizzling over ripe tomatoes, bitter leaves or hearty stews. A bold, versatile oil with real character.

Caspe is a rare olive, indigenous to Aragón. Only 100 hectares of the olives are cultivated and, until quite recently, it was on the verge of extinction as it was not considered a commercially profitable variety.  This green olive paste is very aromatic and has an intense bitter flavour with a hint of fresh fennel.  Use it to add a deep, fragrant olive flavour to sauces, dressings and marinades.
