Shodoshima Olive's limited-production extra virgin olive oil is made entirely from ripe olives grown on Shodoshima Island. Undamaged fruit is selected by hand and pressed while fresh, then blended in-house to balance the aroma, pungency, and sweetness of the available cultivars. The result is a fresh, fruity oil intended for raw use and finishing dishes, including tofu, pasta, soups, and other Japanese cooking. The same oil is offered in 45.5g, 91g, and 182g bottles.

Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

Harvest timing helps you judge an oil's age, while filtration and release style affect how quickly it is best enjoyed.

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 1 November 2025
Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Shodoshima, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan.

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 originShodoshima, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan
Harvest & milling

How it was made

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.
