Details

This 100% extra virgin olive oil from Spain, made exclusively from beloved Picual olives, packed with polyphenols (offering 550 mg/kg). Harvested in October 2024 from the mountainous groves of Arbuniel, Jaén, Spain.

Organically farmed, hand-picked when olives are still green, transported in refrigerated trucks to combat the heat, cold-extracted within a couple of hours and filtered to preserve the premium quality of the extra virgin olive oil.

Behind This Oil, Our Partners in Craft: Rocio & Charles - Finca El Trueno

Finca El Trueno is a labor of love for Rocio and Charles, who transformed their 7-hectare plot into a certified organic farm and a beacon of quality and sustainability. Perched on the rugged slopes of the mountains, their grove offers breathtaking views of a valley awash with olive trees. But behind the beauty lies the hard work: hand-picking olives from steep terrain is no small feat, yet Rocio and Charles approach it with unwavering care. Their meticulous care ensures that the oil reflects not only the health of the olives itself but also the character of the land it comes from. This work and their dedication has not gone unnoticed and Finca El Trueno has earned numerous international awards for their outstanding extra virgin olive oil every year.

This isn’t just olive oil, it’s pure olive juice packed with exceptional health benefits, crafted to elevate your meals and your health.

*Remember, polyphenols are measured immediately after harvest. If the oil isn’t stored properly or consumed while fresh, their levels naturally decrease over time. So, don’t wait for a special occasion to enjoy your EVOO, save it by consuming it regularly.

Aroma & Flavour Profile

Picture yourself strolling through a Mediterranean vegetable garden; fresh artichoke, tomato stem, green tomato and almond fill the air. That’s the vibe this olive oil brings.

On the palate, it’s a delightful journey: the high fruitiness of the nose shines through vibrant green notes, starting with a touch of fresh bitterness that dances into a gentle peppery kick, leaving a satisfying richness that lingers. With medium intensity, balanced bitterness, and pungency, the kick is distinct and certainly felt, yet never overwhelming.

Use & Pair

At Grovehood Collective, there’s no such thing as “cooking oil” or “drizzle oil.” Extra virgin olive oil is for everything; sizzle, drizzle, dip, and dress. High-antioxidant olive oils like this one aren’t just delicious; they’re also incredibly stable, making them perfect for cooking besides using as a finishing oil.

That said, not all olive oils taste the same, and their unique flavor profiles can elevate certain dishes when paired thoughtfully. Our favorite matches for Picual are:

Tomato Soup or Salmorejo for a match well made in its home, Andalusia.
Pan con Tomate for a great start to any day, our favorite breakfast.
Chocolate Mousse or Sorbet with a sprinkle of sea salt for an unforgettable dessert.

Whether it’s fresh Mediterranean savory flavors or surprising sweet pairings, this oil doesn’t just complement your food, it elevates every dish.

Having a shot on an empty stomach to promote optimal gut health is always an option, too.
