Cielo y Tierra Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Early Harvest 500g

Cielo y Tierra's early-harvest Picual captures the grassy, peppery character of olives picked at their peak ripeness in late autumn. This extra virgin olive oil from Spain's premier growing regions combines the boldness of Picual with careful timing—harvested before full maturation to preserve bright acidity and herbaceous notes. A bottle that tastes like the season itself.

About this product

Picual olives from early harvest yield an oil with more robust phenolic content and a distinctive green-apple bite. The harvest method protects the delicate compounds that fade as olives ripen further, resulting in an oil that stands up to hearty soups, roasted vegetables, and grilled meats. Glass-bottled to preserve freshness and prevent light degradation.

How to enjoy

• Drizzle over warm white-bean soup or lentil stew for a peppery finish.
• Use as a dressing for raw vegetables, tomato salads, or aged cheese.
• Finish grilled fish or roasted chicken just before serving.
• Pair with crusty bread and sea salt as a simple tapa.

⭐ Why we love this

Early-harvest Picual is the gold standard of Spanish olive oils—this one captures the grassy intensity and peppery bite that defines authentic Andalusian terroir. The phenolic punch and green-apple character are hallmarks of oils harvested before peak ripeness, a technique perfected by Spain's traditional producers to unlock maximum complexity.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Pair this robust oil with a crisp Verdejo from Rueda or a mineral-driven Spanish white to complement its herbaceous bite. It's equally perfect alongside cured Jamón Ibérico, Manchego cheese, or as the finishing touch on espinacas con garbanzos—the peppery finish elevates classic Spanish vegetable dishes.
