Castillo de Canena Family Reserve
It has been the custom for generations to reserve the best of each variety’s harvest for the house in a renowned “Family Reserve”. In Castillo de Canena we now share it, in limited and numbered editions, with all those who know how to enjoy a really special extra virgin oil.
Picual
This is the most extended olive grove variety in the world. In Spain it represents 50% of production. Most of it is to be found in Andalusia, especially in the province of Jaén. Its olive is large-sized and elongated in shape, with a peak at the end. The trees of this variety are of an intense silvery colour, open and structured.
Taste of Picual Family Reserve
"The Castillo de Canena Picual Family Reserve has a beautiful, clean, intense, golden yellow colour with warm greenish gleams. To the nose it appears as complex and peculiar, rich in elegant artichokes, eucalyptus, lettuce notes and mint, basil and rosemary reminiscences. To the mouth, it is harmonic and fine, endowed with the rich tones ripe banana, recently cut grass, and at the end, insinuations of sweet almond". (Marco
