Taste the new olive harvest at its freshest.
Olio Nuovo is the first extra virgin olive oil of the new season: vibrant, aromatic and intensely expressive. This seasonal Olive Love tasting is an opportunity to experience freshly produced oils from different Mediterranean origins and compare how cultivar, terroir and harvest conditions shape their character.
The Tasting
We will taste six freshly harvested extra virgin olive oils from:
Greece ×2 · Croatia ×1 · Italy ×1 · Turkey ×1 · Spain ×1

The tasting is guided and comparative, allowing you to experience different aromatic profiles, intensities and styles side by side.
