Just a few days ago we did the same, and had our “olio novo” in front of the fireplace where we previously toasted the sourdough bread, then we rubbed the bread with the garlic we grew in our garden and doused it with the fresh, green, piquant oil pressed just a few hours earlier.
And of course there also were red wine and chestnuts!
To us, Tuscan folk, this is a family ritual that is as special as Christmas - it not even more 🥰
This is so interesting. I will have to see if there is some in America.

Interesting how climate change is resulting in earlier harvests, same with apples in the UK
This made my mouth water thinking about it. I bet it tastes amazing!
I am anxiously waiting for the four bottles I pre-ordered to arrive , there is nothing quite like new season olive oil .
L’olio è qualcosa di magico. Per me è sempre un regalo speciale fatto col cuore 🩷
Wonderful! Yesterday I tried my friend’s olio novo - my house is too high at 900m - and it was out of this world! Lovely article - thank you.
