At Solo Olives, quality is not a claim. It is something we measure. Every harvest is independently tested to confirm freshness, purity, and nutritional value. These results tell you how the oil was harvested. They indicate how quickly it was pressed. They show how carefully it was handled from tree to bottle. The lab results for our current vintage are shown below. Each value has a simple explanation. It tells you what it means for your health and your kitchen.
Why This Oil Is Different
Most olive oils spend months or even years in storage before reaching your kitchen. This one does not. Our olives are hand harvested early while still green, pressed immediately, and protected from oxygen from the very first moment. The result is an oil with extremely high polyphenols for real health benefits. It has ultra low acidity that signals perfect fruit and fast processing. There’s almost no oxidation. That means more flavor, more freshness, more stability, and a peppery finish you can actually feel in your throat. This is true olio nuovo quality, once a year, in limited quantities.
