Rafa Cañizares – Casa El Puntal Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Available format: 500 ml

Product description

Casa El Puntal is a limited-production extra virgin olive oil born in Salinas (Alicante) from the hands of winemaker Rafa Cañizares. Made exclusively with Picual olives from a mere five-hectare estate, this EVOO represents the ultimate expression of a carefully selected early harvest.

The olives are harvested at their optimal ripeness and immediately milled using cold extraction to preserve their full aromatic intensity, natural richness in polyphenols, and the varietal's characteristic vegetal notes. The result is an elegant, vibrant, and full-bodied oil, designed for those seeking authenticity and excellence in every drop.
