Straight from the grove -  Fresh. Herbaceous. Vibrant.

Each year, we wait for the brief window when our estate-grown Frantoio olives reach their peak ripeness for milling. The fruit must be just ripe enough to develop balanced aromatics and body, yet still green to produce an oil that is complex, layered, and rich in polyphenols—delivering a bright, peppery intensity.

After a bountiful milling season, the 2024 harvest has arrived, and it’s our freshest, most vibrant oil yet. Milled within hours of picking and handled with care to preserve its just-pressed character, this is olive oil at its most alive.

Intensely aromatic, it bursts with notes of fresh grass, artichoke, and wild herbs, finishing with a bold yet balanced peppery kick. A true finishing oil, it transforms dishes into a culinary experience. Drizzle it over grilled vegetables, let it shine on a simple bruschetta, or take a spoonful straight from the bottle!


The 2024 harvest began in early November, with our first picks yielding brilliantly green, intensely fresh oils. The early season fruit produced oils that were vibrant, herbaceous, and pungent, bursting with grassy aromatics, yet remarkably smooth with minimal bitterness.

As we progressed through the harvest, we were steadily dialing back our irrigation to maintain pungency as the fruit ripened. This season’s crop showed an remarkable ripening progression, allowing for more layered complexity than in previous years. The mid-harvest oils introduced citrus and stone fruit notes, particularly a lively grapefruit brightness that complemented the grassy, peppery backbone.

By the final days of milling, we saw some of the most elegantly structured oils we’ve ever produced. The later harvest oils brought a stunning mix of ripe pomme fruit, subtle tropical undertones, and deep sherry like richness, all while retaining the punchy, green vibrancy that defines our Frantoio.

The final blend is layered, aromatic, and exceptionally balanced, seamlessly uniting the fresh, pungent energy of the early harvest with the nuanced, complex depth of the later fruit.
