Kaori 5 Monovarietal

Kaori 5go is a unique olive variety developed over decades at the Shodoshima Olive Research Institute in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan, and registered as a distinct cultivar in 2021. This oil has a deep green colour and contains abundant polyphenols, delivering strong pungency and bitterness. It pairs well with grilled fish, meat and strongly flavoured vegetables.

Oil Character

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.

Product informationHarvest date disclosed
Place & provenance

Sense of place

The oil is listed as coming from a single estate in Shodoshima, Kagawa 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 originShodoshima, Kagawa Prefecture, JapanSingle estate
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Kaori 5 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.
