Unico Organic Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil

A Spanish olive that does something remarkable in Sicily

Único is one of the most fascinating olive oils in our range. Miceli & Sensat uses 100% Picual, the famous olive variety from Spanish Jaén, but grows it on Sicilian soil. The assertive character of Picual therefore meets a completely different climate and terroir.

The result is an oil of enormous intensity and complexity, yet with striking elegance. Tomato leaf, fresh grass, green almond, artichoke and Mediterranean herbs are followed by clear bitterness and a beautiful peppery finish. Powerful enough to make an impression, but never coarse or unbalanced.

Miceli & Sensat belongs to a new generation of Sicilian producers combining tradition with modern extraction techniques. The olives are carefully selected and processed quickly after harvest to preserve freshness, aroma and natural polyphenols as effectively as possible.

The decision to grow Picual in Sicily shows that the estate is not afraid to think beyond convention. Único is therefore not a copy of an Andalusian Picual, but an olive oil with a distinctly Sicilian identity.

Único officially ranks number 2 in the overall World’s Best Olive Oils ranking 2025/2026 with 365 points. Only Don Gioacchino by Sabino Leone finished higher.

In the separate organic olive oil ranking, Único goes one step further: number 1 in the world among organic olive oils. This Sicilian Picual is therefore not merely an unusual oil on paper, but one of the greatest international successes of the 2025/2026 harvest.

With scores of 9 for fruitiness, 7 for bitterness, 7 for pepperiness and 10 for complexity, Único is clearly an oil for lovers of green, expressive Extra Virgin olive oil.

Yet it is the balance that truly makes this oil special. Its bitterness and pepperiness have enough power for grilled meat, mature cheese, pulses and robust vegetables, while its refined fruitiness also works beautifully with tomato, burrata, tuna, carpaccio or simply good bread.

Único is not a neutral olive oil that disappears unnoticed into a dish. This is an Extra Virgin olive oil that becomes part of the dish itself. Just a few drops can give tomato, grilled vegetables, meat, pasta or bread an entirely new dimension. That is precisely why Único is so interesting for both enthusiastic home cooks and professional kitchens.
