Olio Nuovo is the freshest olive oil you can buy – the olives are hand-picked and pressed the same day; the resulting oil is barely filtered before being bottled. Why is it special? Regular Extra Virgin Olive Oil is left to rest a few months after press in stainless steel tanks for its sediments to settle and its flavor to mellow. By skipping these steps, Olio Nuovo keeps the remarkably intense flavor and aroma of raw olives – and even more of their potent antioxidants.
