Harvested in autumn 2024 from estate-grown Ascolano trees in the US (sourcing olives from other groves while the estate trees recover from the extreme frost event), this limited release is cold-pressed within hours of picking. Unfiltered, then stored under nitrogen until bottling to protect polyphenols.

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 December 2024
Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Texas Hill Country, Texas, United States.

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 originTexas Hill Country, Texas, United States
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Ascolano 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.
