Ciao Amici
After weeks of waiting, long nights refreshing tracking pages, and more unexpected plot twists than we ever imagined… our 2025 Olio Nuovo shipment has officially cleared United States Customs.
And right now, as you read this, it is traveling through Southern California, heading toward our friends at Arden Dispatch in Sacramento for final fulfillment.
An Incredible Journey
This batch has taken a remarkable path:
• Born in Perugia in Umbria
• Flew to Paris
• Transferred to Memphis in Tennessee
• Now moving through Southern California on its way to Sacramento
It has been a long road and honestly a huge learning experience for us.
A Challenging Import Season and a Year That Kept Us on Our Toes
This year brought everything:
• A United States government shutdown that backed up Customs
• Tariffs
• Limited staffing at ports
• A cargo plane crash in Tennessee on the same day our oil landed there
With all of these factors happening at once, delays piled up.
But through it all, you stayed patient, supportive, and encouraging.
We cannot thank you enough for believing in this little olive oil company from Paciano.
The Good News: Fulfillment Starts Soon
We are now fully aligned with Arden Dispatch, our trusted friends in Sacramento.
As soon as the pallet arrives, they will begin packing every single bottle with care.
You will start receiving order confirmation emails and tracking numbers very soon.
If you do not already, please follow us on social media for real time updates.
We have been sharing the journey since harvest day in Umbria.
Our goal is simple:
To get your olive oil delivered to your table by Thanksgiving.
If we make it, your bottle will reach you roughly one month after being harvested and pressed.
This is extremely rare in the world of premium extra virgin olive oil.
How to Enjoy Your Fresh Olio Nuovo
Once your bottle arrives, use it quickly and generously.
Fresh olive oil is alive, vibrant, grassy, peppery, and packed with natural compounds your body loves.
Here are some of our favorite ways to enjoy it:
• Drizzle over roasted or raw vegetables
• Finish pasta, soups, grilled meats, or seafood
• Pour over warm sourdough
• Add to salads or grain bowls
• Take a small daily shot for its health benefits
Olio Nuovo is rich in polyphenols, antioxidants, and vitamins that support inflammation reduction, heart health, and overall wellness.
Use it. Love it. Share it.
