olio nuovo

Olio nuovo is the olive oil from the new harvest, the one that has just been pressed. In Maremma, it arrives on our tables from late October, early November. It is green, cloudy and its taste is intense, fruity, with a characteristic bitterness and spiciness. You consume it raw, on toasted bread (the famous fettunta), vegetables, a soup. It is a unique, seasonal taste experience that connects you directly to the terroir and local traditions. If you are there in autumn, don't miss it: it is the taste of Maremma at its peak.
