In the late fall and winter months we set out at dawn to pick the first olives of the season in the morning mist. As we take the fruit of a full year’s efforts to the village mill, the air is rich with the aroma of the freshly squeezed harvest. We take a break to share a story and all you can think about is grab a piece of warm bread out of the firewood oven and dip it into the flow of the deep green, unfiltered, thick, early harvest olive oil out of the spigot, then sink your teeth into an abundance of flavor that you can only experience at the time of press. We always wanted to pass on that unique experience that we look forward to every year since our young years helping in the family grove. And we did. We bottled our early harvest Olea Gold extra virgin organic olive oil right at that moment after the olives, still green, were pressed. These very few bottles are a special treat you can experience for a few months before the olive oil begins to get sweeter and milder. Try one of the Gold bottles now while fresh off the mill, close your eyes and travel with us to the valley of Sparta, listen to the village talk, indulge in the aroma and share the flavor of a truly unique olive oil.
