What's New on the Seasonal Shelf?

Spain 2025 Harvest Has Arrived

Arbequina

Crush Date: October 2025

Origin: Spain

Polyphenols: 274

Acidity: 0.09


This year’s Arbequina is beautifully balanced and exceptionally vibrant. Thanks to abundant sunshine and early harvest timing, you’ll notice a gorgeous green hue and fresh, creamy character with soft almond notes and a clean finish.


Family Reserve Picual

Crush Date: October 2025

Origin: Jaén, Spain

Polyphenols: 376


Picual olives are naturally green in profile, and this year’s harvest truly shines. Bright, herbaceous, and beautifully structured with that signature pepper finish. The strong sunshine during the growing season enhanced the chlorophyll, resulting in a stunning emerald color and bold freshness. No additives. Ever. Just pure crushed olives.


Italy 2025 Harvest

Coratina

Crush Date: November 2025

Origin: Italy

Polyphenols: 726

Acidity: 0.12


Bold. Structured. Powerful. Coratina is known worldwide as one of the highest-polyphenol olives — and this year delivers in a big way. Bright and intense, this oil is packed with notes of crisp green apple and green almond layered with classic bitter tones of radicchio, olive leaf, green tea, mint, and fennel. It finishes with bold capsicum and chili pepper, rounded out by the lingering warmth of horseradish. With 726 polyphenols, this oil is an antioxidant powerhouse.



Shelf Update: A Spicy Shift

As many of you know, we track sales closely to keep our tasting gallery fresh and seasonal. We are officially phasing out Chipotle Olive Oil. It’s been a favorite for many years, but it’s time to make space for a new seasonal standout that has earned a permanent place on our shelf.


Spicy Green Chili Pressato Olive Oil

This all-natural Spicy Green Chili Pressato olive oil is produced by crushing olives and fresh Baklouti peppers simultaneously in the same press — without the use of added essences or flavorings. This process allows the essential oils from the peppers to harmonize naturally

with the oil from Arbequina olives, creating a beautifully balanced heat.


Produced in the Murcia region of Spain, where fruits and herbs are grown exclusively for MillPress.


This Southeast coastal, sub-tropical region of Spain is known for its premium citrus, peppers, and aromatic herbs.


We do have a few bottles of Chipotle Olive Oil remaining. Ask our team members before it’s gone.



Harvest Highlight

The Spain harvest delivered exceptional color and vibrancy in both Arbequina and Picual thanks to sunshine and early harvest timing. Meanwhile, Italy gave us structure and intensity — especially in Coratina with its impressive 726 polyphenols. Different regions. Different personalities. All exceptionally fresh.



Fun Fact

That peppery “catch” in your throat comes from polyphenols — natural antioxidant compounds. The stronger the pepper finish, the higher the antioxidant potential.

Welcome Welcome to this month's edition of The Olive Press! This issue is a little different because we're excited to introduce our new Seasonal Pre-Order Program. Over the years we've loved bringing in unique seasonal olive oils and balsamics, but limited shelf space often meant temporarily removing one of your favorite everyday products. We knew that could be frustrating when you came in looking for a favorite only to find it unavailable. Beginning this season, our limited-time flavors will be available by pre-order approximately one month before arrival. This lets us keep our everyday products fully stocked while continuing to offer exciting seasonal selections. You may also notice two familiar favorites—Persian Lime Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Harvest Apple Balsamic—in this year's Seasonal Collection.
