New oil from Tuscany

Have you ever tasted the rich taste of a new oil? Taken from the first olives of the harvest, new oil has a lot to say to the most demanding and sensitive palates and can offer a spectrum of very pleasant and unique flavors.

What is new oil: let’s do some clarity.

When new oil is mentioned, the mind immediately associates it with new wine. However, the two denominations are not superimposable. The new oil is the oil obtained from the pressing of the first olives harvested. The extraction procedure is the same as for extra virgin olive oil, but it is neither filtered nor decanted.

It is a  freshly produced oil (new oil) which, not being decanted, has a “dense” appearance, one could say turbid, due to the substances that remain in suspension.

Intense in color, this new oil has a pungent flavor and a high phenolic concentration. If consumed preferably raw, it provides more antioxidants.
