Viride · Coratina Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Single Origin · Bold Character · Award-Winning

Viride is a single-varietal extra virgin olive oil made exclusively from Coratina olives, a cultivar often referred to as the “Queen of Olives.”
Known for its naturally high polyphenol content and strong structure, Coratina produces olive oils prized for freshness, intensity, and stability.

Produced in Italy by Marsicani, Viride represents a pure and uncompromising expression of the Coratina olive — never blended, never refined.


What Makes Viride Special

  • Coratina single-variety EVOO

  • Naturally high polyphenol content

  • Single-origin Italian production

  • Cold-extracted using mechanical methods only

  • Globally recognized, award-winning extra virgin olive oil

Each bottle reflects the olive variety, harvest timing, and craftsmanship behind it.


Tasting Notes

Viride opens with a vibrant aroma of green olives, layered with notes of:

  • Fresh-cut grass

  • Arugula

  • Olive leaves

On the palate, it reveals:

  • An initial artichoke character

  • Followed by chicory and fresh lettuce

  • Finishing with a distinctive peppery kick of green and black pepper

The pronounced pepperiness is a natural hallmark of high-polyphenol Coratina olive oil, not a defect.


Polyphenols & Balance

Coratina olives are naturally rich in polyphenols.
Viride delivers 472 mg/kg, placing it within the ideal high-polyphenol range.

In extra virgin olive oil, higher polyphenols do not automatically mean better quality.
The ideal range is where health benefits and long-term enjoyment are in balance — typically between 300 and 500 mg/kg.

Viride is often chosen for:

  • Daily wellness routines

  • Antioxidant-focused lifestyles

  • Long-term, sustainable use

Many customers enjoy Viride raw, in small amounts, to preserve both flavor and natural compounds.


How to Use & Pair

Viride’s bold structure makes it ideal for:

  • Fresh bread

  • Vegetables and legumes

  • Beans and soups

  • White meats

  • Creative pairings such as ice cream

Best used raw or as a finishing oil.

Viride has received international recognition, including:

  • NYIOOC – Gold Award

  • SOL D’ORO – Gold Award

  • Terra di Cicerone – Best of Show (EVOO)
