Fifteen litres of well-chosen oil change a pantry, and that is what this case of 3 PET containers of 5 L of Padilla 1808 Selección brings. It is the Picual extra virgin olive oil from the Padilla family’s groves in Jaén, with olives picked in November and cold-extracted at no more than 27 ºC.
On the nose it has medium green-olive fruitiness with light notes of tomato and artichoke; on the palate it is smooth, with light, very balanced bitterness and pepperiness. Padilla 1808 Selección in a 5 L PET container asks for everyday cooking: sofritos, stews and roasts made generously, and the salad dressed at the same counter.
