This oil is the classic Picual from Jaén, Spain. Tomato-forward in every way, with a strong initial aroma of tomato leaves and fresh-cut grass. The flavor then continues in the mouth as green tomato, bell pepper, fresh lettuce, and bitter endive, before rounding into a warming black peppercorn finish with hints of baking spices and warm cinnamon. As the oil lingers on the palate, a cool minty note lingers beautifully. Well balanced in aroma and taste, this is not overly bitter, and the pungency is bright and spicy but not throat-catching.
