Novello Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Novello Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Novello from Umbria, Italy is produced from a boutique grower whose family has been growing olives on this land for over 500 years. Novello, Italian for "new". This extra virgin olive oil is extremely coveted as the first pick of the season and this oil is the first pressing from the fruit and a celebration of the first harvest. This is a full-flavored, non-filtered olive oil that is green in color and fresh in taste. This is clearly a special "finishing" oil for pastas, pizza, drizzled over vegetables, or on salads. It is not unusual to have a cloudy sediment in the bottom of the bottle, as this is fresh olive sediment which adds to the flavor. This is not a defect, but rather an example of it's freshness and flavor. This extra virgin olive oil is not mass produced, so when it's gone each year, there isn't any until the next fall harvest.
