description
With the 2022 harvest, Olio Verde Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Sicily is milder than most years.
Produced by Gianfrano Becchina using 100% Nocellara del Belice (Castelvetrano!) olives, we have found the 2022 harvest of this long-standing favorite to be far more delicate than in prior years.
2022 notes (provided by the importer): Aroma of tomatoes, as if you’ve just opened a jar of tomato passata. The mouth confirms the nose, with the pronounced flavor of perfectly ripe tomatoes, notes of green and ripe banana, and a hint of white pepper … It is very well-balanced with an unctuous and velvety mouthfeel, typical of Sicilian oils of the “New Generation,” which Olio Verde helped foster.
2021 tasting notes: Olio Verde features a smooth balance of fruity and grassy, with very mild peppery notes. This oil features a beautiful yellow-green hue and a smooth velvety mouthfeel. Olio Verde olive oil is perfect for pairing with grilled tuna, roasted peppers, stewed white beans, and more.

According to Deborah Krasner in "The Flavors of Olive Oil", Olio Verde is "...beautifully colored and winsome estate-grown artisanal oil from Southwestern Sicily is nutty and herbal, with complex taste nuances."
