What does Novello mean?

Novello is the new oil of the season: pressed from the first olives of the harvest and bottled within weeks, so it reaches the table at its freshest and greenest.

Why is there sediment in the bottle?

Marfuga bottles its Novello unfiltered. Tiny particles of olive settle at the bottom over time; this is normal and can simply be left in the bottle.

Why does it taste bitter and peppery?

Olives picked before they are fully ripe give a greener oil with more bitterness and a peppery catch at the back of the throat, which comes from oleocanthal, one of the oil’s natural phenolic compounds.

Raw, where its freshness shows: on toasted bread, in panzanella, over bean and vegetable soups or on grilled red meat. Use it within a few months of opening, while it is at its liveliest.

Features

New-season Italian EVOO from Umbria, made from olives hand-picked before full ripeness between 10 October and 10 November and bottled unfiltered, with an intense green colour and a fresh, grassy character of artichoke, mild bitterness and pepper.

Producer: Marfuga, the Gradassi family’s olive estate and mill at Campello sul Clitunno, Umbria, which oversees the oil from harvest to extraction and bottling.
Unfiltered: bottled straight from the mill without filtering, so a light natural sediment in the bottle is normal.
Seasonal: produced only from mid-October to mid-November, as the first oil of each harvest.
Pairs with: bruschetta, panzanella, legume and vegetable soups and red meat, poured raw.
Format: 500ml bottle.
