Padilla 1808 Selección is the Picual extra virgin olive oil with which the Padilla family brings the harvest of its Jaén groves to the table, and in this case it comes in 12 tins of 1 L. The olives are picked in November and cold-extracted at no more than 27 ºC, so the oil keeps everything the tree gave it.
On the nose it opens with medium green-olive fruitiness and light notes of tomato and artichoke; on the palate it is smooth, with light, very balanced bitterness and pepperiness. Padilla 1808 Selección in a 1 L tin suits kitchens where oil is used every week: you open one tin, use it with ease and leave the others sealed.
