Each autumn, communities across southern Italy gather to celebrate the olive harvest — the most anticipated moment of the year. Families, farmers, and neighbors come together to taste the olio nuovo, the new oil, bright and peppery and full of life. It’s a tradition that honors the land, the season, and the bonds between people who love and live by olive oil.

This year, we’re bringing that celebration home to West Reading, Pennsylvania.

Join us for our First Annual Harvest Pressing Party, a heartfelt evening marking the arrival of our new harvest Novello extra virgin olive oil, flown in directly from our farm in Calabria. Under the warm glow of our shop, we’ll taste, sip, and toast to the harvest that sustains us — with food, flavor, and connection at the heart of it all.

What to Expect

• Fill Your Own Bottle — Experience the joy of bottling your own freshly pressed Novello, straight from the farm.

• Taste the Season — Enjoy a selection of Italian-inspired bites designed to complement this year’s oil — rustic, simple, exceptional, and full of flavor.

• Meet the Farmer — Hear directly from our family of farmers, who will share stories from this year’s harvest, the weather, the challenges, and the joy of producing one of the worlds best and most authentic extra virgin olive oils.

• Sip & Celebrate — Savor the evening surrounded by fellow olive oil lovers, storytelling, and the spirit of Italian harvest tradition.

Why It Matters

This isn’t just a party — it’s a continuation of an ancient rhythm that connects us to people and communities across the globe. In Italy, the olive harvest marks the start of a new year, a fresh beginning rooted in gratitude and community. It’s a reminder that olive oil isn’t just an ingredient — it’s life-giving, sustaining families and traditions for generations.

At Ciccio’s Olives, we’re proud to bring that same spirit to our community — to honor our farmers, our guests, and the beautiful connection between the land and the table.

Come celebrate with us — the harvest, the farmers, and the new oil that connects us all. Let’s raise a glass (and a bottle) to Novello 2025 — bright, bold, and beautifully alive.

Event includes:

• Hands-on event
• Italian bites
• Complimentary espresso, sparkling, & still water
• Take-home bottle of Novello
