Tierra Callada Olive Oil

From Jaen, in south-central Spain, comes this extra virgin olive oil made exclusively from picual olives. Not only are picuals native to the area, they’re the most popular olive to turn into olive oil in the world.

Since they're so common, finding an exceptional version can be tricky. To stand out amongst the crowd, the folks at Tierra Callada decided to focus on harvesting early in the season. At the end of October and beginning of November they head to the groves and pick only green olives off the tree. The not-quite-ripe olives are big and bold and bitter and grassy in flavor and the sturdy, versatile oil reflects that.

Use it where you want to add a bit of prickly boldness.
