The discovery of a remarkable olive grove in Baja was a fantastic find, and what makes this extraordinary olive oil possible. (You’re welcome.) Underripe green Mission olives are hand-harvested and pressed on-site to yield an impossibly vibrant, green oil, with a rich, fruity fragrance, and a wonderfully intense flavor. Peppery and buttery, the complexities of this verdant oil is swoon-worthy, so go ahead -- we won’t stop you.

This is perfect for vinaigrettes, sauces and marinades, and will enhance the flavors of roasted meat, seafood, poultry, and fresh cheeses. Or, just plop it on the table and watch your guests drizzle it liberally.

Fairway Marketplace is brought to you by Fairway Market, a specialty food chain that started back in 1933 with a small fruit and vegetable stand on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Today, Fairway Market is legendary for its experts and expertise in all things food, and a relentless obsession with quality throughout all of the different departments in its stores. In December of 2011, Fairway launched this online shop, so that we could bring the best of the best of what Fairway offers, at the same great values, to those who don’t live near one of our stores. Why keep all of this foodie goodness to ourselves? That simply would not be fair.
