We honestly want our customers to enjoy our guaranteed fresh olive oil and not get too focused on a harvest date. The truth is that a very high-quality olive oil stored properly for 18 months will be better than a mediocre olive oil stored for 6 months, or a good olive oil stored improperly for 3 months.
When it comes to our olive oils, if you're looking for that intensely fresh, once-a-year flavor of Olio Nuovo, then the harvest date is important. If you're looking for fresh olive oil to use everyday, all of our olive oils are guaranteed fresh, delicious, and packed with all the health benefits – just use them by the Best By or 3 months after opening, whichever comes first.
Keep in mind, the oil is perfectly safe to use past the Best By but the high-quality taste profile will decrease over time.
