Early Harvest EVOO (1 L)

2025 Harvest on pre-order and will ship in the second half of May 2026. Comes packaged in 1 L metal tin. New photos pending.

The Gemlik olives (PDO) we use are single origin and single varietal. Our Early Harvest EVOO olives come from Keramet and Gemlik, Türkiye in the Gemlik olive PDO region. They are hand-picked to select for ripeness prior to being cold-pressed into Nicea extra virgin olive oil within twelve hours.

Our Early Harvest EVOO has a medium-intense taste with the major tasting note being floral. There are slight bitterness and peppery notes, indicating a higher presence of heart-healthy oleocanthal. It has the aroma of meadow grass and fresh olives. Our Early Harvest oil is the most versatile and can be used for drizzling, dipping, baking, and cooking.

The olives were harvested and pressed on November 14, 2025. We laboratory tested our harvest at export time as opposed to at press (so several months later) with the following results:

• Free Fatty Acids (FFAs): 0.56%

• UV K270 Absorptance: 0.12

• Peroxides: 17.3 meq/kg

Based on the prior year’s testing, we expect polyphenol levels between 160-190 mg/kg.
