Padilla 1808 Selección also comes in a small bottle: this case holds 20 of 250 ml, 5 L in all, of the same Picual extra virgin olive oil from the Padilla family’s own groves in Jaén. The olives are picked in November and cold-extracted at no more than 27 ºC.
Its medium green-olive fruitiness, with light notes of tomato and artichoke, and its smooth passage over the palate, with light bitterness and pepperiness, fit into a bottle that is opened, used and finished. Padilla 1808 Selección in 250 ml is the format for well-stocked tables: one bottle for each and the oil always within reach.

The Padillas have also planted Italian varieties rarely seen in Spain, such as Taggiasca and Carlesca, to add different profiles. With all of them they look for the same thing: picking at the ideal moment of ripeness and extracting cold.
