Inspired by the ancient Lapidary Method—the art of transforming raw stones into brilliant gems—Verde Esmeralda perfects each oil with the same precision and dedication. Every bottle represents a harmony of tradition, innovation, and passion, respecting the land while celebrating refinement and design.

Encased like a precious jewel, each Verde Esmeralda oil is more than a culinary ingredient—it is a work of art, crafted to highlight the beauty, purity, and power of nature itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this “Luxury Edition” different from Verde Esmeralda’s other oils? It is made entirely from the first night of the harvest, picked by hand. Verde Esmeralda’s other lines (Premium, Red, Blue, Imagine and others) use the mechanically harvested nights that follow.

What does “Lapidary Method” mean? It refers to the bottle’s presentation, an emerald-cut glass bottle set with gemstones in a display case, inspired by gem-cutting traditions. It describes the packaging concept, not a step in how the oil itself is produced.

What is the actual polyphenol content? 500+ mg/kg, measured by HPLC. An estimated NMR-equivalent figure of 1200+ also appears on some listings. NMR and HPLC are different testing methods, so the two numbers shouldn’t be read as directly comparable.

Where is this oil from? Úbeda, in the province of Jaén, Andalusia, Spain, using 100% Picual olives.

Is it organic certified? The estate uses regenerative and chemical-free growing practices; formal organic certification for this specific bottling has not been independently confirmed. Ask Verde Esmeralda for current certification documents if that matters to your purchase.

How should I use it? Taste it on its own first, the way you would a fine vinegar, then use it raw over bread, salad, or fish rather than for high-heat cooking, to keep its flavour and structure intact.

Is this oil award-winning? Verde Esmeralda’s own materials describe their oils generally as award-winning without naming a specific competition, year, or medal for this bottling. We have not independently verified a specific award for the Emerald Green Luxury Edition, so no award claim is made on this page.
