Picudo

Picudo oils are characteristic for their unbeatable balance and sweetness, without harsh flavors. Sometimes you can find light flavors and aromas that are reminiscent of exotic fruits, as well as apple and almonds. The beaked olive, also known as Carrasqueña de Córdoba, is surely the most emblematic variety of Córdoba and is protected by the D.O. Baena and Priego de Córdoba. This variety is very widespread in the provinces of Córdoba, Granada, Málaga and Jaén. Its fat yield is high, without reaching the values ​​of the picual, but with figures close to 20%. Picudo olives are also used for table olives. Due to its composition in fatty acids, the weevil is placed in the range of oils that are sensitive to oxidation, so it is complemented with other varieties such as the picual.
