Fresh to death. The new class showed up to orientation in Ferraris and are turning heads all over campus. We recruit far and wide every year for new players that can hold their own on the team, and these four are so good that they're going straight to varsity. Three of them are on a full-ride from new regions: Catalonia, Sardinia and Abruzzo. Viola Nuovo of Umbria was technically here a few years ago but they're reenrolled and ready to party.

  • Extra Virgin NOVELLO 4x 500ml (16.9 oz)

    Novello olive oils are a celebration of the beginning of the olive harvest season, produced from the early harvest green olives to create the freshest tasting olive oil available.

  • Harvest Date: Fall 2024 (Novello)

    As a fresh food product, properly stored olive oil should be consumed within 2 years from the time of harvest for best flavor. Harvest runs from October through January in Northern Hemisphere regions, and from April through July in Southern Hemisphere regions.

Description

ACCADEMIA OLEARIA IL NOVELLO: This extra virgin olive oil is made from the first Bosana olives of the new harvest. It boasts a deep green color and a strong, intense flavor with notable bitterness and spiciness, featuring hints of artichoke and tomato leaf. It pairs exceptionally well with bruschetta and pumpkin soup, grilled meat, and fish, and is an excellent choice for dressing salads.

LLÀGRIMES DEL CANIGÓ OLI DEL RAIG NOVELLO W/ BOX: Cold-extracted unfiltered Novello extra virgin olive oil from green Argudell olives grown in Costa Brava, a coastal region of Catalonia in northeastern Spain. It features a fruity intense flavor with subtle notes of freshly cut grass and a slight spicy touch. Perfect accompaniment for salads, fish, meats, and breads.

MARINA PALUSCI NOVUS: This unfiltered extra virgin olive oil is made from a blend of excellent Dritta and Leccino olives. It is cold-extracted and bottled immediately after harvest, and features a medium-robust and well-balanced flavor with notes of green almonds, artichoke, and aromatic herbs, finishing with a strong green olive fruitiness. It pairs well with a variety of dishes and shines with bruschetta. For a unique culinary adventure, try drizzling it over Panna Cotta!

VIOLA NUOVO: A farmer at heart, producer Marco Viola knows his olives as well as any other producer in the world. For the first harvest each year, Viola picks the best green Frantoio and Leccino olives to crush for their early harvest Nuovo olive oil. The result is an incredibly fresh and fragrant oil that captures the essence of the stony hills where these olives grow. With strong notes of artichoke and wild herbs, the fruity flavors rise to meet the boldness of the finish, which is slightly bitter with a spicy sensation that provides perfect balance.It is ideal for traditional Umbrian dishes such as bruschetta and panzanella salad, or for tomato salad with oregano. It can be used to enhance chickpea cream with crayfish and kidney bean soup. It pairs very well with red tuna carpaccio and grilled Chianina meat, and it enhances focaccia bread with rosemary.

FAQs
  • Why Buy Olive Oil Online?

    It is a proven fact that in just eight hours of close exposure to strong fluorescent lights, a bottle of olive oil packed in a clear glass bottle will be totally destroyed having lost its color, flavors and aromas. While oil packed in a dark glass bottle offers considerably better protection, it too becomes vulnerable when exposed to strong light and can be completely destroyed in less than a week, which makes purchasing olive oil in a supermarket a less than desirable prospect.

    Beyond that, the vast majority of the oils sold in the USA have inadequate or even misleading labels. The consumer is given little to no information as to where the oil was actually produced or from what variety of olives it was made, but most importantly, WHEN the oil was harvested.

  • What Are Some Of The Best Olive Oils?

    Simply put, the best olive oils are extra virgin olive oils. However, adulteration of extra virgin olive oil is a hot topic in the past and present, and many studies continue to examine the contents inside a bottle of olive oil. This problem still persists in the industry, especially at the supermarket level.

    That's why we created Olive Oil Lovers: to bring some of the world's best olive oils from the most trusted producers to the U.S. market. All of our producers are quality driven in their manufacturing practices. We also conduct an intensive screening of every producer and product on our site - often visting their estates and seeing their practices first-hand - and accept only producers who meet our high standards. To go the extra mile, all of our imported oils are proven extra virgin through chemical analysis in accordance to strict European Union regulations. Therefore, you can trust that any oil you purchase with us at Olive Oil Lovers will be genuine, 100% extra virgin olive oil.

  • How Long Will Olive Oil Last After The Harvest Date?

    There are two dates that producers may choose to print on a bottle, using either one or both. The "Use By" date is what our producers put on their products to say, "use when at its freshest quality." The taste and quality of the oil doesn't typically diminish over time though, unless it's open and exposed to oxygen.

    The "Harvest Date" is when the olives for the oil were actually picked and crushed. This date can be any time between late October to mid-December for the Northern Hemisphere, and these new harvest olive oils begin to arrive in the United States in February and March the following year. For oils from the Southern Hemisphere, from countries such as Chile or South Africa, harvest occurs any time between late April to mid-June.

  • When Is Olive Oil Considered Past its Prime?

    While this answer can vary depending on the olive variety, time of harvest, and how the product is stored, in general an extra virgin olive oil will retain much of its flavor and aromas for 18-30 months in an unopened container. However, any exposure to light and/or oxygen will begin to degrade the oil. Once opened, olive oil should be consumed ideally within 1-2 months, with a maximum of perhaps 4-6 months. When purchasing a 3L or 5L tin, if the oil is typically not consumed within this timeframe, we recommend decanting the oil into smaller, sealed containers and storing in a cool, dark place.

    Olive oils with higher polyphenol counts will have a longer shelf-life. Higher polyphenol numbers are the result of both the olive variety and when the olive was harvested. Green olives harvested early in the season produce less oil, but have higher polyphenol counts than oils from ripe olives. You can find the polyphenol counts for many of our extra virgin olive oils listed on their product page.
