Freshly pressed oil is called Olio Nuovo, or "new oil", and is prized for its vivid flavor and potent polyphenols. Olio Nuovo is to be enjoyed quickly and without haste to savor the heightened flavor of the fresh press.

Every year's olive crop and oil are different. Our 2021 crop was a little bit earlier and about 25% heavier than last year's. The oil is different too, this year's oil has a delicate, mellow quality. The fruity notes are green apple, underripe banana, with some nuttiness. There are some grassy notes and more herbaceous, floral tones this year with buttery and waxy textures but mostly it has a light, uncloying mouthfeel. It still has a kick at the finish, the peppery burn at the back of the throat that you expect from a high-quality Olio Nuovo.

Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made in the Tuscan style. Four different Tuscan varieties of olives make up our olive oil: the Maurino, Frantoio, Leccino, and the Pendolino. Each olive variety ripens at a different time but we pick them all on the same day. That mix of green (less ripe) and purple (ripe) olives is what makes the Tuscan blend so famous.

Relish in this fleeting seasonal delicacy arriving just in time for your holiday table.

Serving Suggestion: Perfect on Vanilla ice cream with Maldon salt, grilled bread
