2023 Estate Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil in Ceramic (500 ml)
Olio De Nardi EVOO is an estate blend of the Tuscan varietals Frantoio, Maurino and Leccino from the olive orchards surrounding Villa De Nardi near Winters, CA. We farm organically and harvest the olives at peak ripeness, resulting in an exceptional extra-virgin olive oil high in polyphenols and antioxidants, making this a heart-healthy oil.
Our 2023 Estate Blend EVOO won a Gold medal at the LA International Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Competition on Feb. 20, 2024.
Our ceramic bottle also won Gold and Judge's Choice for Packaging Design at the prestigious LA International Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Competition. This bottle is laser etched, 100% food-safe, protects your EVOO from heat and light, and looks great on the counter-top.

The 2023 Harvest
The 2023 growing season was in stark contract to the prior year, with record rainfall throughout the Winter and an unseasonably cool Spring period. Flower bloom was about a month behind prior years, yet mother nature did her thing and the fruit matured right on schedule. Harvest conditions were ideal, with mild day temperatures and cold evenings. The olives were processed in Mori Tem 2-phase mill, and filtered for an exceptionally clean extra-virgin olive oil.
Tasting Profile
This year's oil begins with a fresh, fruity aroma with notes of sweet almonds, artichoke and fresh cut grass, followed by floral green grassiness and finishing with a pleasant peppery kick. Our EVOO is classified as medium robust, and the polyphenol count is high, making this a heart-healthy oil packed with loads of antioxidants.
