FoodMatch's Early Harvest First Crush Extra Virgin Olive Oil offers a new experience with olive oil by sharing the taste of Greek Koroneiki olives picked at the start of the harvest season. After being picked—around late October—the olives are immediately crushed and bottled. As such, FoodMatch describes the finished product as one that has a "bold, buttery flavor and mellows over time."
This standout extra virgin olive oil is elegantly packaged in a bright red glass bottle that demands to be displayed.
At the 2023 Summer Fancy Food Show, this sofi award-winning First Crush Extra Virgin Olive Oil took home the Gold award in the Olive Oils category.
