2022 Organic Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (please read description for details!)
2022 Organic Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (please read description for details!)
Spannocchia's own cold-pressed, organic extra-virgin olive oil, from the 2022 olive harvest. Please note: These are technically best by the end of August 2024 (though we personally enjoy the oil well past its best-by date!).
We are down to the final cans of the 2022 harvest! Unfortunately due to the limited harvest last fall (extreme weather/climate challenges), we will not be importing any olive oil from 2023. We are hopeful that the 2024 harvest will yield enough for us to import to the US again, likely arriving and ready for US sale in spring/summer 2025. We share your anticipation, and thank you for your patience!
Local Pick-Up: If you select local pick-up, we will contact you to coordinate a time to pick-up your order. Please do not come to our office unannounced as we do not hold set office hours.
But why is olive oil so expensive?! What arrives at your doorstep is the end result of hard work on the part of many staff and volunteers. While producing olive oil at this scale is always a time-consuming and costly process, over the last few years we (like all other industries) have seen significant increases in production costs. From pressing the olives at the mill, to the cost of the cans themselves, to shipping overseas, we have paid increases of up to 100% more than in recent years(!!). Importing Spannocchia olive oil to the US is a labor of love, driven by our desire to share this special product with you all—and your demand for it! The prices you see are calculated to cover our costs, but not to turn any meaningful profit. And, rest assured that any profits we do see are used to support our work here in the US and in Italy!
