About O-Med Picual Olive Oil
O-Med Picual olive oil is made with 100% Picual olives and produced in the family's mill, with olives only grown in their own family groves. The olives are harvested in October and processed immediately to preserve the freshness.
The aroma is medium fruitiness with tomato plant, green almond and hints of aromatic herbs. The palate gives a persistent taste of artichoke and green walnut and is balanced with a long peppery finish, providing outstanding complexity and layers of flavour to your dish. We recommend using it to finish grilled fish - it's particularly good with Octopus.
O-Med Picual Olive Oil
The first market of the week has arrived and it brings a really encouraging spread after a run of tougher weather. There is good volume in gurnard and megrim, two of our lesser-known local species that always reward a second look. Alongside them are a few boxes of hake, some excellent turbot portions, and a small run of beautifully smoked trout from our friends at Chalkstream, just up the road.
It is a lively, varied start to the week and a good sign of the markets building again over the days ahead. A great moment to get fresh British seafood back into the kitchen and set the tone for the week.
Carpe piscem!
