This liquid gold, especially when produced by expert hands like those of Ad Morum, becomes an essential ally for haute cuisine and the most demanding palates.

In this article, we want to share with you everything you need to know to get the most out of this extra virgin olive oil, from its distinctive characteristics to its most innovative uses in gourmet cooking.

The essence of Picual EVOO: a gastronomic treasure

Picual EVOO is obtained from the Picual olive variety, predominant in the Jaén region, the world's largest olive oil producer. This oil stands out for its very high quality, especially when it is early harvest, as it retains all its nuances and healthy properties.

At Ad Morum, we are aware of the responsibility that comes with working with this fruit. That is why we combine traditional techniques with innovation to guarantee a product that respects the environment, maintains the essence of the olive grove, and brings the highest quality to your table.

Low-temperature cooking: an ally for confits and more

Thanks to its stability at high temperatures, Picual EVOO is perfect for cooking techniques such as confit or low-temperature cooking.

• Confit of vegetables or fish: cover the ingredients with extra virgin olive oil and cook slowly at a low temperature. This process enhances natural flavors and leaves an exquisite texture.
• Stews and casseroles: add a generous touch at the beginning of cooking to enrich broths and sauces.

Its high content of antioxidants and monounsaturated fatty acids make it a healthy option, even when subjected to prolonged heat.

Finishing dishes: the master touch

A good Picual EVOO is not only a protagonist in preparation but also in presentation. Here are some ideas:

• Creams and soups: a few drops when serving enhance the flavor and add an appetizing shine. Try it with a pumpkin cream or a gazpacho.
• Pastas and rice dishes: give a sophisticated finish to a risotto or fresh pasta with a drizzle of this oil.
• Gourmet desserts: did you know that extra virgin olive oil pairs perfectly with chocolate? Dare to innovate and surprise with unique desserts.

Health benefits: a luxury for your well-being

In addition to being a delight for the palate, Picual EVOO is a health ally. Its properties include:

• Cholesterol reduction: its high oleic acid content helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
