Rabbit Ridge Releases it's 2006 Nuevo Olive Oil

In 1999 we planted our first olive trees on our Live Oak Road Vineyard located off Highway 46 West.   The first two harvests were in 2004 and 2005 and were fairly small – we only bottled enough Olio Nuevo for Joanne with a few extra cases for the tasting room which sold out immediately.   However this year the trees have produced a mature crop which we have pressed into our third release of Rabbit Olive Oil on 11/9/06 and 11/10/06.   This is by far the richest, most complex oil we have produced.   It is very, very green.   Olio Nuevo is the freshly pressed oil, unfiltered and still containing all the natural flavor and antioxidant capacity of the olive.   It is best used as a condiment poured over soups, stews, pasta, bread, salad, tomatoes, etc.   This is the most sought after oil in Italy and it is only available for two weeks out of the year.   For those who have never had Olio Nuevo, it is a special gourmet treat.   It is much stronger in flavor and more peppery than settled or filtered olive oil. Most California produced olive oil is from Spanish olive varieties.   Our olive oil is produced only from Italian Tuscan varieties including Frantoio, Leccino, Maurino, Moraiolo and Pendolino. The price is $30 for a 750ml bottle. To order your Olio Nuevo, click here and type in your order or call Jackie at (805) 467-3331 x21.
