PICUAL

Category:

The Picual olive variety originates from Spain, particularly from the Andalusian region, where it is one of the most widely cultivated varieties. It is primarily used for olive oil production and is known for its high and consistent yield. The tree has medium to high vigor, with an upright growth habit and good adaptability to different soil and climatic conditions. Flowering occurs in mid-season, and the harvest is typically early to mid-season. The fruits are medium-sized, oval, and slightly pointed at the apex, with an excellent oil yield that can reach 20 to 27%. The oil produced is of very high quality, rich in antioxidants and oleic acid, with a strong, fruity flavor and a slightly bitter and pungent taste. The Picual variety is appreciated for its resistance to cold and its adaptability to intensive cultivation systems, although it can be sensitive to water stress and certain pests such as the olive fruit fly.
