Novello: Unfiltered Calabrian New-Harvest Olive Oil

Novello means new. This is the oil pressed from the very first olives of harvest, the green, unripe fruit that gives up its most intense, most polyphenol-filled, most alive flavor before it ever has the chance to mellow.

It’s bolder than our Original, higher in polyphenols too, with a peppery finish that catches in the back of your throat, the way real, fresh-pressed olive oil is supposed to. Every producer in Calabria knows this oil doesn’t last. Once this harvest’s Novello is bottled, that’s it until next year’s early-picked olives are ready.

This is the oil our family reserves for the dishes that can handle a little more character. Grilled vegetables. A finishing drizzle over soup. A steak, still resting. Novello isn’t for background flavor. It’s for the moments you want the oil to be the point.

Insider secret: sediment is an indication of truly unfiltered, freshly-pressed and bottled extra virgin olive oil. If you notice it, you can shake to incorporate it, filter it out, or discard the bottle once seen.

Either way, enjoy this liquid gold knowing that it’s authentic and produced with great care!
