You are pre-ordering Olio Nuovo, in advance, for despatch in May 2025, once pressed. Any order that includes other products as well as Olio Nuovo will be held until May 2025 and all products shipped together. If you’d like other products sooner, please place a separate order that doesn’t include Olio Nuovo.

Limited Availability – 8L Per Customer
Due to extremely dry conditions during flowering and fruit set, our 2025 crop is smaller than usual. As a result, to ensure fairness we’re limiting orders to 8L per customer/household. Unfortunately 15L and 20L sizes won’t be available this season.
We appreciate your understanding and continued support through this challenging period - we remain hopeful for a better crop in 2026.
What is Olio Nuovo? Harvest and pressing information
Although all of our olive oils are organic and first cold pressed (we only do a first pressing), at the start of each harvest season we bottle our Olio Nuovo (first harvest) - our labor of love. Olio Nuovo "new oil" is a special limited release of unfiltered cold pressed organic extra virgin olive oil from the first olives harvested each season (mainly green olives). Hand selected olives including Verdale, Mission, and Benito varieties are picked, cold pressed, unfiltered and bottled without delay while still cloudy - this is as fresh as you can get! The oil flavour profile is vibrant with medium intensity, complex fruitiness, green herbaceous notes and a peppery finish. The oil is rich in polyphenols (antioxidants) typically ranging between 250 and 300 mg/kg (ppm). This limited release oil is popular and highly sought after at harvest time - experience the vibrant aroma and enjoy the intense flavours of this oil while it is fresh.
Why is Olio Nuovo worth more than other oils?
Green olives produce approximately half the oil of riper ones, meaning we need to harvest and press nearly double the quantity of olives to produce each litre. This season, environmental challenges have further reduced our harvest, making Olio Nuovo even more limited. Our organic olive oil reflects its unique terroir, with summer heat and mild stress enhancing the peppery finish and concentrating flavor, resulting in our characteristically low yield of thick and fruity oil.
Despite its rarity, our passion for sharing this once-a-year tradition drives us to keep our organic Olio Nuovo more accessible than most first harvest oils on the market. While others sell for $50+ per 500ml, most first harvest oils on the market aren’t certified organic, making ours even more exceptional. Thanks to our farm-to-bottle process, we ensure peak freshness, exquisite quality, and certified organic production. We appreciate your understanding and continued support in keeping this tradition alive.
Why is fresh oil cloudy?
Olive oil this fresh and unfiltered is cloudy due to fine particles of olive flesh suspended in the oil. These are high in antioxidants and contribute to the vibrant flavour of freshly pressed oil. Because this oil is bottled straight from the press the settling process that normally happens in our tanks will occur in your bottle or tin, so expect to find some sediment at the bottom. We recommend enjoying as much oil as possible while it's fresh and cloudy. Drizzle over warm, crusty bread, fresh salads, or grilled vegetables to lift your dishes with its distinctive flavour.
🏆 2023 Gold Medal & Champion – Medium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Australian International Olive Awards 2023
Judges' comments: "Deep and intense green aromas including fresh tomato leaf, red tomato fruit, dry herbs, fig leaves, cut grass and green bean. The palate displays a great texture with buttery mouthfeel. The flavours carry through adding green banana skin, fig leaves, nettle, and rocket salad. The bitterness is medium with well-balanced pungency. The finish is creamy, clean and has a super sensation of freshness that lingers for ever."
