What is Olio Nuovo?

Olio Nuovo is the very first extra virgin olive oil from the beginning of the harvest: it exists only in the fall. A green hue, with a peppery catch that comes from its high polyphenol content.

Harvest and pressing

Hand-picked from frantoio, moraiolo and leccino trees (the classic Tuscan trio) and cold-pressed within hours of picking, with state-of-the-art machinery. Bramasole has produced extra virgin olive oil to the highest standard since the early 1990s and consistently wins Gold at the New York International Olive Oil Competition, most recently for our Fall 2025 harvest.

Harvest analysis

Every harvest is laboratory-tested. Fall 2026 results will be released here once the oil is evaluated. Our Fall 2025 harvest measured 580 mg/kg polyphenols (nearly 3× average EVOO) at 0.23% free acidity, well under the 0.8% extra virgin limit.

On the palate

Bramasole harvests characteristically show artichoke, fresh herbs, green almond and olive leaf, with the lively, piquant finish that defines premium Tuscan EVOO. Best where you can taste it undisguised: over white beans, soup, grilled bread, or sliced oranges with salt (the true Tuscan way). It also elevates everyday sautéing and roasting, as normal cooking heat does not undo a good oil. An oil that transforms cooking from excellent to sublime.

How pre-ordering works

We harvest in October and press the same day. Bottles are filled to order and air-freighted to your door from Tuscany, shipped in the sequence orders were received. The earlier you order, the sooner it arrives. Every order is guaranteed to reach you before December 23, and most arrive well ahead of that, in good time to be given away.

A case to share

Twelve bottles is the case people order when several are going to friends and family, and there is still enough left to see the winter out. Each bottle arrives in beautiful condition, ready to give as it is.

No PO boxes, so please provide a physical address.
