Frantoio Taggiasca Pendolino

Celebrate the season with Il Fustino's limited Olio Nuovo, crafted from hand-picked Frantoio, Taggiasca and Pendolino olives harvested in California's Santa Ynez Valley. This vibrant, unfiltered oil is cold-pressed within hours of picking to preserve its fresh grassy notes and peppery finish. Its complex aroma of artichoke and almond makes it perfect for drizzling over seasonal dishes or artisan breads. With less than 400 litres produced from this first pressing, this exclusive early-harvest oil offers a truly exceptional tasting experience.

Sensory Profile & Character

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 4.2

Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.

Bitterness 2.6

Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.

Pungency 2.8

Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.

Polyphenols 5

Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds found in olives and other plants. In olive oil, reported phenolic content is a chemistry measure that can be associated with bitterness, pungency and oxidative stability; total phenols are not interchangeable with hydroxytyrosol-plus-derivatives measurement used for the EU-authorised wording.

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.
