There is a certain magic in Tuscany this time of year. The air smells like crushed olives. The countryside hums with the harvest. And for this brief period of time, Italy celebrates one of its truest and most delicious treasures: Olio Nuovo.

Fresh from the mill and bottled immediately, Olio Nuovo is the very first olive oil of the season. It is vivid green, intensely aromatic, and alive with flavor. This is the olive oil locals wait for all year. It is bold, grassy, peppery and full of life. You taste the work of real hands that picked every olive with purpose.

What Makes Olio Nuovo Special

Olio Nuovo is unfiltered and bottled right away during harvest. That means it is packed with maximum fragrance, antioxidants, flavor, and freshness. It also means it is only available for a short time each year. Think of it as the Beaujolais Nouveau of Tuscany, but even more ancient and soulful.

It is a taste of the season and the land at its best. A celebration of new beginnings and the purest expression of the olive.

How to Enjoy Olio Nuovo

This is not cooking oil. This is finishing oil. You taste it in its purest form.
Use it generously on:

• Warm, toasted bread

• Fresh pasta and soups

• Roasted vegetables and grilled meats

• Simple greens and burrata or mozzarella

• On a crostini with a bean or pumpkin puree

• Cooked beans with herbs

• A pinch of salt, nothing else

The moment the oil hits warm food, the aroma explodes. Bitter. Spicy. Green. Alive. It wakes up everything.

A Little Extra: Why It Is Good For You

Olio Nuovo is not just delicious. It is one of the most nourishing foods on earth.

Fresh extra virgin olive oil, especially this first-press of the season, is packed with polyphenols, antioxidants, healthy monounsaturated fats, and vitamins that support everything from heart and brain function to glowing skin and strong cells. That little peppery kick in the back of your throat? That is oleocanthal, a natural anti-inflammatory compound found in the best oils. It is the body’s way of saying thank you.

Olive oil has been at the center of the Mediterranean diet for thousands of years. It fuels longevity. It supports digestion. It keeps your heart happy. It helps protect the body from oxidative stress and aging. It is the fat that nourishes, not weighs you down. The closer you are to harvest, the more alive these benefits are. More antioxidants. More nutrients. More vibrancy.

In other words, this is not just something to drizzle. It is something to feel good about. It is nature’s richest, most sacred fat. A daily ritual for health, pleasure, and a life that tastes just a little bit brighter.

Agriturismo Pescaia: Family Tradition In Every Drop

Tucked between the medieval towns of Montepulciano and Montefollonico, Agriturismo Pescaia is a true family farm, surrounded by rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, and the quiet rhythm of Tuscan life. Here, Sabrina and her family care for about 600 olive trees, many of which have stood through generations, producing oil that reflects the soul of this land.

The olives are a classic Tuscan mix: Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo, and Pendolino. Fruity and vibrant, with pepper and brightness that dance across the palate. Each variety brings its own character. Together, they create the balanced, expressive oil that Tuscany is famous for.

The year begins in winter, when the trees rest. Pruning happens between January and May, focusing energy into new buds and future olives. Spring arrives, blooms open, and tiny fruit forms. Through summer, the family tends the land, keeps the soil healthy, and watches the olives swell with sunlight and minerals from the soil.

Harvest arrives in October and November, when the olives begin to shift from green to glossy black. Every olive is picked by hand, then rushed to the mill in Montepulciano and cold-pressed within 24 hours. That speed matters. It protects flavor, aroma, and natural nutrients. No heat, no chemicals, no shortcuts. Just pure mechanical extraction, tradition, and respect for the fruit.

The result is true extra virgin olive oil. Low in acidity, rich in aroma, intensely fresh, and filled with the natural flavor of the olive itself. It is grassy, fruity, sometimes bitter, sometimes spicy.

This is olive oil made the old-world way. By family, by hand, by season, by nature. And now, for a short time each year, you can bring a piece of their harvest home.
