Oil Character

Freshness & season

New harvest oil

This is a seasonal new-harvest oil intended to showcase the vivid aromas, bitterness and peppery energy of freshly milled fruit.

Why choose it

Choose it for dipping and finishing when you want the vivid aromas and peppery immediacy of the new harvest.

Worth knowing

Olio nuovo and unfiltered describe different things, but both reward careful storage and prompt use.

Product informationOlio nuovo

Place & provenance

Sense of place

The oil is listed as coming from a single estate in Davis, California, United States, 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 originDavis, California, United StatesSingle estate

Harvest & milling

How it was made

The olives are listed as being milled at the producing estate or farm.

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.
