Organic

This organic extra virgin olive oil is made from Hojiblanca olives grown on Shodoshima Island in Kagawa Prefecture, harvested by hand on 30 October 2025 and cold-pressed the following day at below 26°C. The deep green oil carries a fresh grassy aroma with mild bitterness and a gentle peppery note that works well as an accent on fried or baked dishes. Produced from green, organically grown fruit with no irrigation, it is filtered by natural sedimentation and bottled at the Yamada Olive Garden's own organic-certified facility.

Sensory Profile & Character

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 5.6
Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.
Bitterness 4.3
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.
Pungency 5.3
Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.
Polyphenols 6.2
Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds found in olives and other plants. In olive oil, reported phenolic content is a chemistry measure that can be associated with bitterness, pungency and oxidative stability; total phenols are not interchangeable with hydroxytyrosol-plus-derivatives measurement used for the EU-authorised wording.

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.

Why choose it
