2024 Estate Blend EVOO 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 extra virgin olive oil high in polyphenols and antioxidants, making this a heart-healthy oil.
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.
Harvest Date: Oct., 2024 | 500 ml ceramic bottle

The 2024 Harvest
The 2024 growing season begin with above average rainfall leading into the spring months, and flower bloom was a few weeks behind prior years. We experienced over 30 days of + 100F (38C) during the summer (a record!), but the trees held up well and the crop load was heavy. Harvest began on Oct. 20, and finished on Oct. 29. The olives were processed in a Mori Tem 2-phase mill in nearby Capay Valley, and filtered for an exceptionally clean extra virgin olive oil.
Tasting Profile
This year's oil begins with a pleasant fruity aroma with notes of fresh cut grass and a hint of sweet nuttiness, finishing with a balanced feel in the mouth with a slight peppery kick. Our EVOO is classified as medium robust.
Olio De Nardi has been certified as extra virgin olive oil by Modern Olives in Woodland, CA.
