Rolando raves: “My desert island olive oil—use it on anything and everything! Olio Verde astounds me each year. Accentuate its fruitiness by pouring it over a big bowl of spaghetti al pomodoro. Drench a piece of toast topped with IASA Anchovies or Branzino with this velvety oil.”
2025 Harvest Notes
Olio Verde was the first Sicilian olive oil 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 unctuous, 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 amuses the palate.
