Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil is always bottled “Unfiltered” and appears dull and cloudy due to the suspended olive flesh particles. The first things you will notice are the deep, rich color and the fragrance. Now the taste,.. wonderfully flavorful and fully rich! The quality of the “Novello Unfiltered Olive Oil” is unsurpassed as it retains the fragrance, taste and biological properties of freshly crushed olives. The presence of any sediment is not a defect, but rather is a natural and pure attribute of the product. It enhances the flavor of all kinds of dishes and its health benefits are uncompromisingly pure and natural. The seasonal period of harvesting the Novello is from November to February. Direct from the tree, to the crusher and into the bottle, it is a 100% Italian (Sicilian) product. The flavor and richness are the defining characteristics of our unfiltered olive oil.
