Description
Silver Quality Award · London IOOC 2026
This is olio nuovo, the first oil of the season, pressed in the second week of October before the oil is filtered or rested. It is the only moment each year when Italians pour from a clear bottle.
Grown and hand-picked by Stijn Taillieu using organic practices in the hills above Paciano, Umbria. Olives are harvested early, still green, and pressed within hours of picking.
Unfiltered and naturally cloudy, with fresh-cut grass, deep green herb aromas, pronounced bitterness, and a bold peppery finish, all driven by high polyphenols. It is the bitterness and the pepper that tell you the polyphenols are still intact. As the Italians say: “Il momento giusto è adesso” the right moment is now.
Available in clear or dark bottles. Clear bottles are wrapped in paper for light protection, they also ship well as a gift. Dark bottles and tins keep up to twelve months unopened when stored properly; clear bottles up to six months. Once opened, enjoy within twelve weeks.
Pressed once a year. Ships the first week of December 2026.
Nothing in between. Most olive oil reaches you through brokers, blenders and bottlers, and no one in that chain has ever met the person who grew the fruit. We know Stijn. We are in the grove in spring to fertilize, and there again in October to pick. From that grove to your table there is no one else. Read the story.
How the 2026 Presale Works

I recently purchased a 12-pack of 500 ml bottles of olive oil, and I am beyond impressed. This olive oil is incredible—rich, smooth, and absolutely delicious. I never imagined olive oil could taste this good! It has none of the usual bitterness or the typical “acquired” taste of standard olive oils. Instead, it’s pure, flavorful, and truly mind-blowing—a real treat for the senses.
The order arrived in two well-packaged boxes of six bottles each. I received timely shipping information, and the company was quick and responsive throughout the process. Everything was handled professionally, and the delivery was seamless.
I’m genuinely excited to share this precious olive oil with friends and family. If you’re looking for an olive oil that elevates every dish and exceeds expectations, this is the one. Highly recommended!

Luxurious smoothness with a peppery finish. Yum! My favor
My favorite way to enjoy this is to dip a crusty bread into it and layer with fresh basil, salt and multi color ground pepper corns. I’m hooked. What a fabulous journey for this responsible company! Thank you!!!

Amazing! My family likes to snack on some bread, olive oil, mozzarella before dinner some times. I bought this and was amazed at what great flavor the Solo olive oil has. I feel like I’ve stumbled on to a little Italian secret for how olive oil is supposed to taste, and now I can get that same great taste and quality here in the US! I’ll definitely be buying more. 🙂

We love SOLO olive oil. It’s exceptional. We’ve been using it for everything from dipping sourdough and focaccia to finishing cooked chicken, and it consistently elevates the flavor. It’s so smooth and well-balanced that I sometimes enjoy a teaspoon on its own straight from the bottle.
Dan Keenan (verified owner) –
Truly incredible olive oil! Great for cooking or dipping. It has a distinctive flavor, while being very well balanced. It always starts a conversation when we serve it to guests. We’re also proud to support this great company with an awesome vision.
Kimberly & Mark Hannah (verified owner) –
The olive oil is absolutely divine! It has a rich, fresh flavor that bursts with a beautiful aroma and dances on the taste buds from the very first sip. It truly feels like a little piece of Italy in every drop. This is seriously high-quality olive oil… smooth, flavorful, and versatile enough to elevate salads, pasta, dips, or even a simple slice of bread. It would also make a wonderful gift. Highly recommended! We will definitely be purchasing again. Thank you!
