Why the First Months of the New Olive Harvest Are the Best Time to Buy Extra Virgin Olive Oil



When it comes to extra virgin olive oil, freshness is key. Unlike wine, which often improves with age, olive oil is at its best when it's freshly extracted. The first months of the new olive harvest are, without a doubt, the best time to indulge in the vibrant and fruity flavors of extra virgin olive oil.


Olive Oil: A Living Product


Think of olive oil as a living product. When it's recently extracted and made with care, it captures the essence of the olive fruit itself. That's when you can truly savor the taste of the olives. As time goes on, the oil begins to deteriorate, and those delightful aromas and flavors start to fade away.


The speed at which olive oil deteriorates depends on various factors. If the oil is of high quality, made with olives harvested at just the right moment and processed using best practices, it will age gracefully, preserving its exceptional qualities. However, if the olives were harvested late or the production processes were subpar, the resulting oil will deteriorate rapidly, losing its charm in just a matter of months.


The Advantages of Early Harvest or First Pressing Oil


You might have heard the term "first pressing" before. While it harkens back to an ancient olive oil extraction technique, it still holds immense value today. In modern terms, we refer to this as early harvest extra virgin olive oil, typically processed using a cold extraction method.

Early harvest olive oil is a true culinary gem. It retains all the remarkable properties of the olive fruit, making it a premium extra virgin olive oil. The cold extraction process ensures that the oil is obtained at a low temperature, preventing damage to the olives and preserving their natural goodness.


The result is an exquisite gourmet oil with an abundance of health benefits. Early harvest olive oil boasts a high content of natural antioxidants, including polyphenols and tocopherols. These antioxidants are not only good for your health but also contribute to the oil's rich and complex flavor profile.


So, if you want to experience olive oil in its purest form, with all its fruity aromas and health-boosting properties intact, there's no better time than the early months of the new harvest season. Embrace the freshness, indulge in the flavors, and make early harvest extra virgin olive oil a culinary staple in your kitchen.
