Verdant EVOO

Price

$26.00

A classic Picual from Jaén, Spain, selected for the greener side of olive oil.

Tomato leaf and fresh-cut grass lead the aroma, followed by green tomato, bell pepper, lettuce and bitter endive. Black pepper, warm spice and mint carry through the finish. It is bright and distinctly green without becoming punishingly bitter or throat-catching.

Verdant is one of our three loose flavor profiles for olive oil. It is not a grade or an official classification. It is simply our shorthand for oils that live on the greener, more herbaceous side of the spectrum.

Use Verdant when you want the olive oil to stay bright and present in the finished dish. It is especially good with eggs, pan con tomate, roasted potatoes, tomato confit, caponata, simple pasta, lentils and vegetable-forward dishes.

Its green tomato and pepper character also makes it a natural fit for Indian and Southeast Asian-inspired cooking, where fresh herbs, chiles and warm spices can meet the oil rather than disappear underneath it.

This 2025 Picual was grown in Jaén, Andalucía, Spain and crushed in October. Picual is one of the defining olive varieties of Jaén, and this lot is a particularly clear expression of the greener side of the cultivar.

We selected it for Verdant because its identity is unmistakably leafy, grassy and vegetal, but still balanced enough to use generously rather than treating it as a tasting-room stunt.

Tomato leaf and fresh-cut grass lead the aroma. On the palate, green tomato, bell pepper, fresh lettuce and bitter endive give way to black peppercorn, warm baking spice and cinnamon, with a cool mint note lingering at the end.

The oil is green and expressive without being excessively bitter. Its pungency is bright and spicy rather than aggressively throat-catching.
