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.

Butter in a Bottle

I seem to find more and more uses for this buttery blend. Today I used it to sauté some green beans, also in a recipe for corn bread which required butter, and on some pasta tossed in garlic, pesto and mushrooms. It is a great butter substitute or as a mixture of butter and the oil or all by itself. It is especially good for dipping crusty sourdough bread with Sciabica's sticky balsamic and some herbs.

A spiritual experience in my mouth

I gave up on olive oil along time ago because it was so bitter and did not help my body feel good.

But when I discovered their sweet olive oil I feel like I have found religion again ha ha

It is so sweet and creamy and smooth. It is literally like a fruit oil. All of my friends are freaking out none of us has ever tasted true ripe olive oil before.

Stop reading this review purchase a bottle you will be stoked!

Amazing and Delicious

Olio Nuovo is always amazing; it is as close as we non-employees of an Olive Oil production facility can get to the fresh oil pouring from the spout!
This particular year’s Mission Olio Nuovo is special indeed. It is fresh and delicious, and has that anti-inflammatory burn (oleocanthal, don’t ya know) at the back of the throat that makes me cough and sing with joy at the same time. We tried it first with the 250 ml and loved it so much, we bought the larger bag in the box right away so it wouldn’t run out too fast. KUDOS, Sciabica from our family!!

Black Olive Oil

I found you 30 years ago and I've been buying ever since. I have looked elsewhere for spring olive oil, even in stores that carry many brands. Thank you for your special olive oil. Hopefully we'll be buying from you for another 30 years.

Well, I wish I could speak "olive oil expertise",

Well, I wish I could speak "olive oil expertise", alas I'm not qualified. What I do know is that this olive oils flavor is extraordinary. I love a salad of bitter greens, and tend to have one at least 4 times a week. This olive oil is the perfect counter to the bitterness of those greens. I keep it simple and clean, not mixing much with it as a dressing.

This is the best Olive Oil for popcorn. I can only say it is one of my favorite because there are other Olive Oil that I like just as much, but not for popcorn.

Healthy butter alternative without a loss in flavor

Excellent on popped corn, steamed veggies, etc.
And you don't get that "heavy" feeling in your gut as sometimes happens with too much butter.

Sweet Mission, sweet addition to our kitchen!

We have transitioned to fully stocking Sciabica Family products in our kitchen! While Sweet Mission is our favorite, you can’t go wrong with any of the other flavors! Specifically cilantro, extreme garlic, jalapeno, and the new lemon variety! You can’t beat Sciabica’s!!

Our favorite!

This is so good that using it almost daily feels like such an extravagance! Yet, it is priced very competitively with other fine olive oils! We NEVER let a bottle be empty unless we have more! Our family is hooked!
