Verde is the "green" elixir from the young farm founded by Italian Paolo Miceli and Spaniard Sergio Sensat. Verde was composed by Duccio Morozzo della Rocca. Sounds good. Is damn good!
Duccio Morozzo della Rocca, a descendant of an old and prominent Italian noble family from Piedmont, closely connected to the local aristocracy and political structures of this northern region, can afford to take unconventional paths in Sicily in the name of quality – and to include Picual in this ingenious blend. Just enough to still achieve the IGP Sicilia certification. But enough to give the oil not only stability but also a distinctive character.
The Picual olive trees that Sergio Sensat and Paolo Miceli had planted are still young. But they may already be bearing enough olives by autumn 2025 that the "Verde" product, which this year also consists mainly of the typical Sicilian varieties Cerasuola and Biancolilla, will no longer carry the IGP Sicilia seal with the next vintage. Because the oil from the Picual olive complements this blend so well, the outstanding Morozzo della Rocca is unlikely to forgo the queen of Spanish olives.
Aroma profile:
Verde impresses with a fresh, vegetal fragrance profile reminiscent of tomato leaf, green banana, celery, and green almonds. Distinctive notes of green pepper and a balsamic hint of mint lend the oil an elegant complexity.Taste:
On the palate, Verde displays medium intensity with a fine balance of bitter nuances of chicory and green almonds, along with a pleasant spiciness reminiscent of arugula and green peppercorn. Subtle notes of cinnamon and the freshness of mint harmoniously round out the flavor profile.Aftermath:
The oil presents itself elegantly and with a pleasantly long-lasting finish that further emphasizes the fresh and spicy aromas.
This multifaceted oil is an excellent accompaniment to raw or grilled vegetables, salads, white fish dishes, and bruschetta. It is the perfect choice for gourmets seeking a balanced yet distinctive olive oil.
