The 2024 oil campaign of the Lucarella mill marks the arrival of the novello extra virgin olive oil, one of the most authentic and genuine expressions of Apulian olive growing.
The novello represents the first fruit of the harvest, a fresh, intense and aromatically nuanced extra virgin olive oil that best expresses the quality and tradition of our territory.
In this article, we discover the characteristics of the new Lucarella 2024 and how to best enjoy it.
What is Novello extra virgin olive oil and why is it special?
Novello extra virgin olive oil is the first oil obtained by pressing olives harvested at the beginning of the season. It is distinguished by its intense green color, fresh aromatic notes and a strong taste, with a perfect balance between bitter and spicy.
The peculiarity of this extra virgin olive oil is that it is bottled and consumed immediately after pressing, without filtration, to keep all its organoleptic and nutritional characteristics intact.
New oil is a seasonal product, available only for a limited period and represents an authentic celebration of the new harvest and the work of olive growers.
