Produced by Multiple Producers

While it's not the full 10 bottle bonanza of Italian delight, this core offering has plenty to be excited about. Each one of these oils represents the four producers that caught us by surprise since our Novello inception: Pruneti Nuovo of Tuscany with the grassiest of the grassy notes (since 2017), Guglielmi's Fior D'o packing a serious punch of bitterness that Puglia is known for (2020), the amazing fruit of the Novello from Lazio's Tamia (our favorite in 2023) and lastly, our newest producer and indie torch bearer, Accademia Olearia il Novello, pinning Sardinia onto our world map.

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.

FRANTOIO PRUNETI OLIO NUOVO: The original Nuovo from renowned Tuscan producer Frantoio Pruneti is crushed from the season's very first pickings of locally grown Frantoio, Leccino and Moraiolo olives grown in the heart of Chianti. This fresh oil is extraordinarily balanced yet robust with notes of green fruit and sweet vegetables, accompanied by pleasant notes of basil and fennel with a strong peppery finish. Excellent with freshly toasted bread, roasted root vegetables, grilled fish and meats, and hearty soups.

GUGLIELMI FIOR D'O NUOVO W/ BOX: From the farms of Olio Guglielmi in Puglia, Fior D’O is a monocultivar extra virgin olive oil obtained from the first Coratina olives of this year's harvest. The intense aroma of fresh olives and creamy texture in the mouth reveal the rustic and genuine nature of this early harvest oil. Fior D’O retains a unique flavor in which the bitter, the spicy and the fruity unite in perfect harmony. Try serving Fior D'O with simple dishes, like warm bruschetta, fresh cheese, raw vegetables and soups..

TAMIA ORGANIC NOVELLO: A blend of organic early harvest extra virgin olive oils from the Tuscia region of central Italy. Produced from Leccino and Frantoio olive trees grown in nutrient-rich volcanic soil, the olives were harvested at their peak moment of ripeness in order to receive their optimum flavor and health benefits. The oil has a balanced profile with medium bitterness and pungency, and long lasting aromatic profile with notes of fresh cut grass and wild herbs. For the perfect pairing, try it on white bread or with pasta in a fresh tomato and basil sauce.

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.
