This organic Taggiasca extra virgin olive oil from Il Fustino showcases the distinctive character of California-grown Taggiasca olives, harvested in November 2024. With a surprisingly floral aroma and herbaceous flavour profile, it begins sweetly and delicately, revealing complex notes of green tea and artichoke that culminate in a satisfying peppery finish. The oil's balanced and refined taste makes it particularly versatile for culinary applications, especially when drizzled over roasted meats or served for bread dipping. Pairs beautifully with fig balsamic vinegar and kaffir lime and ginger vinegar to enhance its floral characteristics.

Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

The harvest date is disclosed on the bottle or product information, making the release easier to date and compare.

Why choose it

Choose a recent, clearly dated release when you want the most vivid expression of its aromas and flavour.

Worth knowing

A harvest date does not reveal how the oil was stored, so date is an important signal rather than a guarantee of condition.

Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Santa Barbara, California, United States.

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.

Listed originSanta Barbara, California, United States
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Taggiasca as its only recorded cultivar.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.

Worth knowing

One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.

The oil records certification to an organic production standard.

Why choose it

Choose the practices and certifications that best match your environmental and farming priorities.

Worth knowing
