New Harvest 2009 Olive Oils Are Here

It's time to "change your oil" to the fresh, vibrant flavor of new oil.
 

France
 

Provence

New Harvest! Jean Leblanc 

This popular oil represents the classic Provençal olive oil flavor profile, a style and taste dictated by the tiny Callietier olive, which grows in abundance in the vicinity of Nice. This olive oil is gold in color, light in body, and has a lovely, delicate, ripe olive flavor and a perfumed, fragrant aroma. The perfect oil for seafood stews, grilled fish, pesto, raw or cooked vegetables and all Mediterranean French dishes, or any time you need a light, delicious sweet oil. And, not to be missed is the walnut oil produced by LeBlanc - no one on earth produces satiny, aromatic nut oils like a dedicated Frenchman !

Style: mild, light & buttery

New Harvest!  AOC Castelas 

If you visit the St.  Remy area be sure to include a drive through the Les Baux valley  to see the largest concentration of olive trees in France. This somewhat harsh, dry landscape is strong and rugged but beautiful, and is a perfect example of the type of terroir that olive trees have survived in for thousands of years in the Mediterranean. Castelas is produced by Jean-Benoit Hugues who uses winemakers’ techniques to insure the purity and fineness of  Castelas oil. Picked early to capture a piquant quality, each olive variety - Salonenque, Aglandau, Grossane, Verdale - is picked and pressed separately, when each is at the optimum stage for presenting its best flavor. After the olives are pressed, the individual oils are blended in the exact proportions necessary to create the signature style and flavor that this producer wants. Castelas oil has a fine richness on the palate, with hints of artichoke and almond and the scent of fresh cut grass. Castelas is a very sophisticated olive oil produced by a true artisan.

Style: medium, fruity and spicy

Greece
 

Crete

New Harvest!  PDO Sitia  

It is not often that a fabulous Greek olive oil comes to the U.S., so we are thrilled to have discovered this knockout selection with a PDO designation to boot. Sitia oil is pressed from 100% Koroneiki olives at the co-operative in Sitia in eastern Crete, the historic cradle of olive oil in the Mediterranean. This oil was recently awarded a gold medal in an international tasting competition conducted by the International Olive Oil Council (IOOC) for being the #1 best tasting oil in the Intensely Fruity category. Medium in body and blessed with a full, deep fruity olive flavor and warm aroma, this oil is a run-away best seller in our store. Sitia is versatile for drizzling, dressing salads, and for cooking - many of our customers will use no other olive oil.

Style: full, complex and peppery

Abruzzo

New Harvest!  Casina Rossa   

Well-balanced, generously fruity and nicely piquant in flavor, this oil is pressed from Gentile, Intosso and Ghiandaro olives, a blend with a "just right" flavor for so many kitchen uses. Produced in Chiete by the DeLaurentiis family who proudly use artisan cultivation and harvesting techniques, and press their olives in their own mill or frantoio. This level of dedication results in an especially tasty oil from a rugged, mountainous region of southern Italy. Casina Rossa oil is not at all fussy but is very delicious and very reasonably priced for such goodness.

Style: full, complex and peppery

New Harvest!   DOP Tenuta Cocevola  

This rustic oil from Tenuta Cocevola in Terre di Bari Castel Del Monte, Apulia, has a coveted DOP designation. This is confirmation that the olives have been grown, pressed, and bottled in a small, very specific area that yields olive oil with a distinct character. Cocevola is made from 100% Coratina olives and has a bold, rustic Apulia style and a piquant aroma that begs to be matched with juicy, ripe tomatoes and flavorful, garden fresh summer vegetables. This is Bob's current favorite olive oil.

Style: robust, assertive & grassy

Campania

New Harvest!  Madonna dell'Olivo 'Denocciolato' Raro

Denocciolato olive oils are pressed from olives that have had their pits removed prior to pressing. These labor intensive oils are made only by a few dedicated producers such as Antonino Mennella, who believe that the flavor of the oil is accentuated when the pits are removed before the fruit is pressed.

Raro is not for the faint of heart. It is direct, upfront and makes no apologies for its rustic charm and swagger. It is made from two olive varieties that are local to Salerno in Campagnia - Ravece and Rotondella- which are particularly bold in flavor. Raro is best appreciated when used like a savory condiment and drizzled over dishes such as garden fresh vegetables, pasta, bean soups and risottos; or as a counterpoint to sweet fruits and sugary vegetables, such as ripe red tomatoes, pepper and okra sauté, a mushroom fricassee, and grilled leeks.

Style: robust, assertive & grassy

Lazio

New Harvest! EVO Tuscia, by the Colli Etruschi Cooperative

This is a robust, Tuscan-style olive oil from Italy’s newest  DOP designated region – the province of Viterbo, in Lazio. This ancient region of Italy was once called Tuscia by the Etruscans who populated the area. Viterbo has maintained a long agricultural tradition of olive oil production begun by the Etruscans, making the name Tuscia a fitting one for this splendid olive oil. Rich, full bodied, bold in flavor yet nicely balanced, this oil is luscious on the palate and herbaceous in flavor, with hints of fennel, artichoke and celery. Pressed from Caninese, Leccino, Frantoio olives by the Colli Etruschi Cooperative. This is Mary Lou's current favorite olive oil

New Harvest! Fortissimo

As the name suggests, Fortissimo is our house oil that is on the full and robust side. It is mild in the front of the palate and finishes with a kick at the end. It is a tasty counterpoint to our Poggio Noho, which is medium in body and nicely balanced between sweet and peppery.
Fortissimo is peppery but not overly aggressive. It makes its presence known without shouting from the plate. It is a perfect oil for dipping bread or accompanying a platter of crudités for snacking during the cocktail hour.

Fortissimo is pressed exclusively from Caninese olives by Nicoa Fazzi in the Etruscan town of Blera in the province of Lazio. Fortissimo is impressive in its versatility, and will be sure to please those looking for an oil that is reminiscent of the noble oils from northern Italy but at a more modest price.

Molise

New Harvest! Colonna  

One of our favorite olive oils is this beauty is from the Molise, the province that lies east of Rome along the Adriatic. The owner of the estate is Principessa Marina Colonna, who  is descended from a noble family, and now controls production on the family’s 140 acre olive grove. She maintains 22 varieties of olive trees, including Coratina, Leccino and Gentile, from which she skillfully blends this delicious olive oil.  Colonna oil is luscious and smooth, with a clear, distinctive olive flavor that is complimented by overtones of apples and pears. It has a gentle, spicy bite that is characteristic of the style of many southern Italian oils.

Style: medium and fruity

Sicily

New Harvest!  Barbera Olio Novello, 'Nuovo Raccoloto'
 
What began years ago with a few modest cases of early-harvest oil has turned into a holiday  'must have’ for our customers. Olio Novello is a limited quantity, early release, first-pressed, new harvest extra virgin olive oil that is a taste enthusiast’s dream. Barbera Novello is a very interesting oil. It is blended from Nocellara, Biancolilla and Ogliarola olives that grow in the vicinity of Palermo. It is true novello oil, meaning that the oil is obtained from the first pressing of early harvest olives. The resulting oil is bottled quickly and released for sale. Novello oils have an authentic, rustic flavor and an old-world appearance, due to the fact that the oil is un-filtered. Barbera Novelli is deeply green, sharply-defined and seriously fruity. It has a grassy, spicy flavor and an aroma reminiscent of tomato stem, celery and fennel.

Style: UNFILTERED, robust, assertive and grassy

 Tuscany

New Harvest! DOP Mannucci-Droandi, organic   

Roberto Droandi tends the olive trees on his farm in the dramatic hills of Gaiole in the Chianti region of Tuscany. This region is known not only for classy Chianti Classico wine but also for what we feel are the finest extra virgin olive oils in Tuscany. These oils define the standard for Tuscan oils, and when they are this good they are recognized with the coveted government-sanctioned DOP designation. This is a hand-made oil in the true artisan sense of the meaning, and is pressed from Moraiolo, Rossellino, Frantoio and Leccino olives. It is remarkably rich, snappy, fresh and peppery,  very low in acidit and with a luxurious mouthfeel..

Umbria

New Harvest!  Poggio Noho   

We love Umbrian olive oil from the Assisi-Spoleto region because it is un-pretentious and well, just plain good. Hence, we looked there for a producer who could craft an olive oil that fit our idea of something luscious and wonderful. Poggio Noho is made from  Moriaiolo, Leccino and Frantoio olives, varieties that may be familiar to those of you who know Tuscan olive oils. Poggio Noho has a balanced, pure, clean, slightly sweet flavor, and is blessed with harmonious aromas of fresh herbs and artichoke. Our goal was to find an extra virgin olive oil that marries well with food and would not shout at you from the plate. We are thrilled that we have found it in our Poggio Noho, a carefully nurtured olive oil that is the perfect capture of freshly squeezed olives.

Spain


Catalonia

New Harvest!  DOP Antara

This delightful olive oil is produced by the Coselva cooperative at Siuriana, in Tarragona, Catalonia. Nine-hundred families are members of the co-operative, and many of them still harvest olives from trees that are planted in a pasture arrangement called an ‘antara’. This type of planting dates to the Roman era, and consists of planting almond and hazelnut trees in the middle of your land, planting a cover crop underneath for sheep to graze on, and then lining the perimeter with olive trees. The reigning olive in this region of Spain is the Arbequina, a small olive that produces a very fresh-tasting smooth oil with just a hint of pepper on the palate, and a nice, subtle aroma of sweet almonds. The olive trees that produce Antara are over 100 years old. This gives the olive oil more complexity and nuance.
