 Sensors
 Oro Bailén Picual 2025 is a beautifully fruity, green-fruited extra virgin olive oil with a clear, modern character. The nose reveals aromas of couch grass, freshly mown meadow, olive leaf, and delicate notes of green almond. On the palate, the oil is opulent, structured, and harmonious: a well-integrated, not overly intense bitterness, a present yet elegant peppery note, and a juicy, slightly sweet fruitiness typical of Oro Bailén's current style. Compared to earlier, extremely angular vintages with pronounced bitterness and enticing peppery notes, Picual today, despite its biophenol load of 338 mg/kg (HPLC-DAD), is more approachable, even sweeter, making it one of the best-selling premium olive oils.


 Origin & Processing
 This extra virgin olive oil comes from Villanueva de la Reina (Jaén) and is produced at the renowned Aceites Oro Bailén mill. The Picual olives are harvested early and cold-extracted within a few hours in the mill's own state-of-the-art facility.
 Oro Bailén is considered one of the world's most awarded olive oil producers, particularly for its Picual oils. The mill was recently named the best olive oil mill in the world for 2024/2025 . The 2025 harvest impressively demonstrates that top quality is possible even in exceptionally large quantities – over 370 tons of Picual with consistently excellent quality.


 background
 Oro Bailén Picual is among the most legendary olive oils in the world. It has won the Mario Solinas Competition of the International Olive Council twice – first in 2012, and most recently in 2024.
 Points, rankings, and awards are only part of the story. What truly matters is the uncompromising pursuit of perfection that has defined owner José Gálvez González for years. Oro Bailén's Picual is not an experimental niche oil, but a consistently produced, top-quality, everyday extra virgin olive oil – made for daily use in everyone's kitchen.

 Note from the Master of Olive Oil
 “Oro Bailén Picual is one of those olive oils you can use every day – and that’s precisely its greatness. It’s not loud, not eccentric, but precise, clean, and reliable. Today’s style is more approachable than before, but still unmistakably Picual. An oil that shows what world-class looks like in everyday life.”
 – Silvan Brun, Master of Olive Oil


 Import, warehousing & quality assurance
 To ensure the enjoyment doesn't end with the product description, this oil was imported into Switzerland under temperature-controlled conditions (between 6 and 18 °C, depending on the truck). The oil is also stored at a constant ambient temperature of 15–18 °C, protected from light. This temperature-controlled logistics preserves the chemical, physiological, and sensory quality of the olive oil to the best of our ability. In the olive oil business—especially in the premium segment—such meticulous care is essential, yet evoo.expert is one of the very few retailers who consistently maintain an unbroken cold chain. You can smell and taste the difference.
