"Fresh green, fruity olio nuovo. Aroma of fresh cut grass, artichoke, pea pod, apple peel and faint green banana, with subtle ripe olive in the background. Palate led by artichoke and leafy green notes, soft buttery texture, low bitterness, gentle one cough pepper and a clean medium finish."

Grampians Olive Co.'s Olio Nuovo Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a limited-release first pressing of the season's earliest harvested olives. Hand-selected Verdale, Mission, and Benito varieties are cold-pressed within 6 hours of harvest, ensuring maximum freshness and flavour intensity. This unfiltered oil retains fine particles of olive flesh, contributing to its cloudy appearance and reported phenolic profile.

The 2026 Olio Nuovo shows a fresh green, fruity profile with aromas of fresh cut grass, artichoke, pea pod, apple peel and faint green banana, backed by a subtle ripe olive note. On the palate it leans into artichoke and leafy greens with a soft buttery texture, low bitterness, gentle one-cough pepper and a clean medium finish.

Produced in a farm-to-bottle process, this oil is preservative-free, vegan-friendly, FODMAP-friendly, GMO-free, and gluten-free.

Producer Notes
Following two difficult harvest years, 2026 was a better harvest due to late spring rains leading up to flowering and fruit set

Oil Character

Freshness & season

New harvest oil

The harvest date is disclosed on the bottle or product information, making the release easier to date and compare. This is a seasonal new-harvest oil intended to showcase the vivid aromas, bitterness and peppery energy of freshly milled fruit. The oil is bottled without filtration and may retain natural moisture and fine olive solids.

Why choose it

Choose it for dipping and finishing when you want the vivid aromas and peppery immediacy of the new harvest.

Worth knowing

Olio nuovo and unfiltered describe different things, but both reward careful storage and prompt use.

Product informationHarvest date disclosedOlio nuovoUnfiltered
Place & provenance

Sense of place

The oil is listed as coming from a single estate in Grampians & Pyrenees, Victoria, Australia, giving it a specific farm origin.

Why choose it

Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.

Worth knowing

Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.

Why choose it
