We are very excited to offer a special limited release of Olio Nuovo (new oil) this harvest season! Olio Nuovo is the freshest extra virgin olive oil you can get because it is bottled within 24 hours of picking. It is cold-pressed, iridescent green in color, unfiltered, and bursting with the taste of just crushed olives, with grassy and peppery flavors – an authentic extra virgin oil experience! Olio Nuovo is olive oil in its most raw state, distinctively cloudy with bits of olives and packed full of amazing health benefits.

“This effervescent olive oil was then slowly poured out onto a small tasting plate. Its color was reminiscent of freshly picked green olives…surprisingly attractive and eye-catching. The real surprise was in that initial burst of flavor soaking through the bite-size piece of fresh sourdough sprinkled with a dash of sea salt. I was experiencing a party in my mouth!”

“This oil is so flavorful! From the moment I opened my first bottle the difference was obvious. The beautiful green hue screams ‘fresh’ and the taste is so different than any store bought oil that I've tasted. I'm hooked on it and use it everyday on avocado toast, salads, etc!”
— Lindy Bixby, Aptos, CA
“I use olive oil for cooking daily. I didn't realize there was such a difference in olive oil until I purchased my first few bottles of Pleasant Valley Farms olive oil. I cannot go back to any other. The oil has smooth buttery flavor with a robust peppery finish. Its earthy aroma is wonderful with salads and bread. I love to pour a bit on a plate, sprinkle some sea salt and add bread for dipping. Delicious!”
— Elise Lalor, Hollister, CA
