Every year, there is a brief, beautiful window when olive oil is at its absolute peak.
That moment is called Olio Nuovo.
And Nuvo’s 2025 harvest has arrived.
This is olive oil in its purest, most alive form. Just weeks off the press. Vibrant. Electric. Almost neon green. Still humming with freshness.
It’s not just olive oil.
It’s a seasonal experience.
What Is Olio Nuovo?
“Olio Nuovo” means new oil in Italian. It refers to the very first pressing of the harvest — before the oil settles, filters, or softens with time.
This early harvest oil is:
-
Intensely fresh
-
Exceptionally high in polyphenols
-
Bursting with antioxidants
-
Bold in flavor
-
Limited in supply
Around the world, chefs and olive oil lovers wait all year for this release. When it’s gone, it’s gone.
A Flavor That Wakes Up Your Palate
Nuvo’s Olio Nuovo delivers a flavor profile that is unmistakable:
-
Bright green apple
-
Fresh-cut grass
-
Peppery finish
-
Gentle bitterness
-
Lively pungency
It’s bold. It’s expressive. It’s alive.
This is the oil that makes you pause after the first bite.
Why Freshness Matters
Fresh olive oil isn’t just about taste. It’s about nutrition.
At this stage, Olio Nuovo contains the highest levels of:
-
Polyphenols
-
Antioxidants
-
Anti-inflammatory compounds
-
Natural protective enzymes
As olive oil ages, these slowly decline. That’s why Olio Nuovo is considered the “champagne” of olive oil. It represents peak vitality.
And it’s why Nuvo is named after this very philosophy:
Always fresh. Always honest. Always exceptional.
How to Use Olio Nuovo
While all of Nuvo’s extra virgin olive oils are versatile, Olio Nuovo shines brightest as a finishing oil.
Try it on:

A drizzle is enough. Let it speak.
