Mission 'Olio Nuovo' has a delicate underlying touch of sweetness and subtle notes of olive blossoms; it’s like tasting sunshine in a bottle. Superb as a heart-healthy butter replacement – try using it with a touch of sea salt for buttery-flavored popcorn – without the butter! 

A smaller 2025-2026 crop. A more expressive oil. This year, Mother Nature gave us a tighter harvest window with Mission variety olives. The result is an exceptionally rare Olio Nuovo that reflects the season with complete honesty.

We harvested in two passes, December 2025 and March 2026, capturing the fruit at its most vibrant. However, with less room to shape the blend, this oil speaks more directly to the grove than ever before.

Expect the familiar smooth, buttery base, now layered with a brighter green character, and a gentle peppery finish.

Why are the Sciabica's the only one with such sweet EVOO? Mission variety olives are the only variety native to California, and only Mission olives have fully adapted to the California climate (many trees are well over 100 years old) allowing the olives to remain on the tree for several months after most producers have completed their harvest – becoming ever riper and sweeter.  Very few olive oil millers harvest Mission olives – it's a time-consuming and expensive process – however, the Sciabica Family has quite literally built the company around these native California beauties.
