AU Gold Extra virgin olive oil

A green and characterful extra virgin olive oil made from 100% Picual. Fresh notes of green apple, grass, herbs and green almond are followed by mild bitterness and gentle pepperiness. Full-flavoured, yet harmonious and approachable.

AU Gold first attracts attention with its distinctive packaging, but the oil inside deserves at least as much. This extra virgin olive oil is made from 100% Picual, the famous olive variety of Andalusia. The result is a green, fresh and flavoursome oil with a beautiful balance of fruitiness, bitterness and pungency.

While some Picual oils can be particularly powerful, AU Gold remains relatively approachable. The green aromas are clearly present, while bitterness and pungency remain mild and controlled. This makes it versatile and suitable both for experienced olive oil lovers and for anyone discovering a good Picual for the first time.

The combination of serious craftsmanship and distinctive design also makes AU Gold especially suitable as a culinary gift.

Picual is the most widely planted olive variety in Spain and is especially closely associated with Andalusia. Its name refers to the small pointed tip at the bottom of the olive, the pico.

Good Picual oil is known for its green aromas, often with notes of grass, green apple, almond and other fresh vegetal nuances. Natural bitterness and pungency are also characteristic. AU Gold shows these typical qualities in a relatively elegant and balanced style.

Aceites Únicos comes from Castellar in the province of Jaén, right in the heart of Andalusian olive oil culture. Olive groves dominate the landscape here, and the Picual olive in particular has shaped local olive oil production for generations.

The warm Mediterranean climate, dry summers and long tradition of olive cultivation make Jaén one of the world’s most important olive oil regions. AU Gold is therefore not merely Spanish, but unmistakably Andalusian.

With high-quality extra virgin olive oil, preserving the fresh aromas and natural flavour compounds of the olive is essential. Light, heat and oxygen can gradually affect that quality.

AU Gold’s metal tin completely blocks out light. The striking packaging is therefore not only a design choice, but also a practical way to protect the oil during storage.

AU Gold is an excellent culinary gift. The gold-coloured packaging immediately catches the eye and barely needs wrapping. An original present for a keen home cook, foodie or business relation – and just as enjoyable to keep in your own kitchen.
