We produced 400 half-liter bottles of this precious oil. We picked the fruit ourselves on the 26th of October, in full sun, after a warm, dry fall. You know that last year, we divided our harvest in half and bottled half of the oil immediately as Olio Nuovo, and half as as traditional, settled oil. Both are entirely successful, but we are abosolutely in love with the oil that most captures the aroma as it leaves the press. For that reason, we have produced 100% Olio Nuovo this year. Experience teaches us that this oil keeps, but we still must say: this oil is more like a fresh flower or a fresh fruit than any dry-good sitting on a shelf. The suspended solids that give the oil (I nearly said "wine") its amazing aromatics and beautiful cloudy appearance, that give it its ebulliently youthful life-- these solids are not stable, and when they settle out, they can spoil.

So this oil is not made to sit on a shelf, neither in a store nor in your cupboard. Purchase it and open it immediately. The aroma is insane; like nothing that came out of a can. Consume it with your family and best friends on New Year's Eve. If it starts to settle, consider decanting it away from the sediment. And pour it on some bread.
