Once a year, olive oil lovers eagerly await the arrival of one of the most prized seasonal delicacies—Olio Nuovo. And now, the wait is over!
Our Olio Nuovo has arrived, and it brings with it the bold flavors and vibrant color that only the freshest olive oil can offer.
What is Olio Nuovo?
Olio Nuovo, which means "new oil" in Italian, is the first extra virgin olive oil of the harvest season. Pressed just weeks after the olives are handpicked, it is bottled unfiltered and unrefined, preserving its natural vibrancy and nutrients.
The result is a rich, neon-green oil bursting with fresh, robust flavors and a peppery finish.
Why Olio Nuovo is So Special
Unlike typical olive oils that are filtered and stored for months, Olio Nuovo is enjoyed immediately to capture its peak freshness.
This oil is loaded with antioxidants, polyphenols, and healthy fats, making it as nutritious as it is flavorful. Its bold notes of green apple, fresh-cut grass, and a hint of bitterness create a unique and complex taste that can elevate any dish.
Creative Ways to Use Olio Nuovo
Olio Nuovo's distinct flavor is best highlighted when used as a finishing oil. Here are a few ways to savor every drop:
-
Drizzle Over Fresh Bread: Dip warm, crusty bread into Olio Nuovo for a simple yet luxurious treat.
-
Finish Roasted Vegetables: Enhance the earthy flavors of roasted vegetables with a light drizzle.
-
Elevate Your Smoothies: Add a tablespoon to your morning smoothie for a nutrient-rich boost.
-
Natural Wellness: Swish it, gargle it, or massage it into your hair and skin for natural nourishment.
Perfect Pairings
For a balanced flavor experience, pair Olio Nuovo with our premium aged balsamic vinegars:
-
18-Year Traditional Balsamic ("The Godfather"): A classic pairing that complements the oil's boldness.
-
White Peach Balsamic: A fruity, sweet contrast to Olio Nuovo's robust profile.
Try blending 3 parts olive oil to 1 part balsamic for the perfect dipping sauce or salad dressing.
Limited Time, Unlimited Flavor
Olio Nuovo is a once-a-year indulgence. Its fleeting availability makes it a must-have for any kitchen, but it won’t last long! Don't miss your chance to experience this bold, nutrient-rich treasure.
