Valdezarza is a new entry into our olive oil portfolio. We feel it is a particularly fine example of an extra virgin olive oil made from picual olives.

With an acidity of under 0.2 percent, Valdezarza Picual has a well-rounded flavor with very little bitterness. In 2008, it was awarded the silver medal for the best-flavored oil at the Los Angeles International Extra Virgin Olive Oil competition.

As you first taste it you will experience flavors reminiscent of lemon, herbs and fresh cut hay but as the oil moves to the back of your mouth, you will have a peppery sensation caused by powerful polyphenols.  (more info)

Valdezarza Picual is unfiltered and first cold pressed. The result is an oil that is full of tiny organic particles and vitamins that translate into full flavor and a healthy diet. It has an expansive full-bodied flavor, with a crisp peppery finish as it reaches the back of your mouth.

The oil from the picual olive is very stable, and can be used in cooking at high temperatures. Use this oil for cooking fish or sautéing vegetables; or on a mixed garden salad laced with an excellent sherry vinegar.
