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.

Product informationHarvested 25 August 2025Harvest date disclosed

Why choose it

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