Starcross Olio Nuovo is the first oil of the November 2026 harvest in California, certified organic by CCOF. This freshly pressed extra virgin olive oil offers a robust, peppery flavour that chefs prize during the brief window after harvest. It is a once-a-year treat available only directly after harvest each autumn from the Starcross farm.

Oil Character
New harvest oil
This is a seasonal new-harvest oil intended to showcase the vivid aromas, bitterness and peppery energy of freshly milled fruit. The oil is bottled without filtration and may retain natural moisture and fine olive solids.
Choose it for dipping and finishing when you want the vivid aromas and peppery immediacy of the new harvest.
Olio nuovo and unfiltered describe different things, but both reward careful storage and prompt use.
Sense of place
This oil is listed as originating in Annapolis, California, United States.
Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.
Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.
Growing choices
The oil records certification to an organic production standard.
Choose the practices and certifications that best match your environmental and farming priorities.
Farming method and certification may guide values-based choices, but do not automatically determine flavour, freshness or nutritional value.
