Our Olio Nuovo is all estate grown on our farm, cold and first pressed within hours of coming off our trees. It is not racked or filtered. Instead, it is bottled and shipped as soon as it emerges from the mill. It is an opaque, beautiful golden green olive oil with texture and a robust palate. Because some of the sediment is still suspended in the oil, this rustic oil has a super aroma with notes of fresh green grass, garden herbs, tomato leaf and black pepper. At this time because it is not yet transparent, the independent lab is not able to accurately test for polyphenols, but we know from its peppery finish that it is a very high polyphenol oil for which Basque Away's EVOO's are known. It is perfect with creamy cheeses, simple (non-tomato based sauce) pastas, over vegetables or on crostinis or your favorite bread so the the oil takes center stage. Our Olio Nuovo was a HUGE hit last year and is a truly special, very limited time, seasonal treat.
This oil should be consumed withint 3-4 months because it still has suspended sediment which will cause it to age sooner. To ensure that our Olio Nuovo is truly nuovo (new), we will probably stop bottling in January 2027. You can order now to get the freshest olive oil there is.
