Made from fully ripe Ruka olives hand-harvested in late October on Etajima island in Hiroshima Prefecture, this extra virgin olive oil is cold-pressed at the estate's own mill within hours of picking. It has a fruity aroma of green banana and apple with a buttery, honey-like sweetness and gentle throat-warming pungency. The mild, sweet profile complements Japanese dishes such as miso soup, chawanmushi, sashimi and udon when used as a finishing oil.

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

The oil is listed as coming from a single estate in Etajima, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, 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.

Listed originEtajima, Hiroshima Prefecture, JapanSingle estate
Harvest & milling

How it was made

The olives are listed as being milled at the producing estate or farm. The olives are listed as being harvested manually.

Why choose it

These practices may appeal when you value hands-on harvesting, cooler fruit handling or direct estate control over milling.

Worth knowing

They describe production methods, not elapsed harvest-to-mill time or proof that the finished oil is fresher or better.

Product informationProcessed on-siteHand picked
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Lucca 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.
