Olio Verde Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Olio Verde'S 2025 harvest extra virgin olive oil is made with 100% Nocellara del Belice olives. This classic oil opens with the aroma of ripe tomatoes, as if you’ve just opened a jar of tomato passata. In the mouth, it is velvety and very well-balanced, with medium fruitiness and spiciness in total harmony. It has a mild, soft nuttiness, and a hint of white pepper that opens the palate.  A medium to robust oil.

An all-purpose olive oil—use on everything and anything from delicate crudo and platters of fresh seafood to classic Sicilian and Southern Italian dishes like caponata and grilled swordfish with capers.

Upon its release in 1989, Olio Verde was a turning point for Sicily. It's the first olive oil made from a single cultivar, the Nocellara del Belice olive grown on the Pignatelli family's historic estate in Castelvetrano, Sicily. Farmed using ecological methods, the olives are harvested in early October while they are still bright green—imparting a singular flavor onto the oil—and are milled on the estate within hours of being picked. 

Notable Mentions: We agree with The Kitchn that, "A bottle of really good olive oil may be the most versatile gift you can give a cook."
