Olio Nuovo
The First Taste of the Harvest
El-Sayed Estate Olio Nuovo—which translates to "new oil"—is a highly anticipated, limited once-a-year offering. It is the freshest extra virgin olive oil possible, bottled immediately after milling.
Because it is completely unfiltered, it retains tiny particles of olive flesh, giving it a beautifully cloudy, vibrant green appearance. This is olive oil in its rawest, most natural form.
The Flavor
Prized for its intense, raw, and vibrant profile, expect a bold, grassy, and herbaceous flavor. A hallmark of true Olio Nuovo is a distinctively peppery kick—known as pizzicante—at the back of your throat.
The Benefits
That signature peppery kick isn't just for flavor; it's a sign of exceptionally high polyphenol content. These powerful antioxidants are most concentrated in this early-harvest, unfiltered "green" oil.
The Tradition
Due to its raw nature, Olio Nuovo is highly perishable and should be enjoyed fresh within 3-6 months. We recommend using it exclusively as a finishing oil—drizzled generously over bruschetta, soups, salads, or pasta.
Secure Your Bottle
Because of the extremely limited production window, our Olio Nuovo sells out quickly every harvest season.
