Heraclea Early Harvest Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Cold-Pressed, Polyphenol-Rich EVOO, 16.9oz

Taste the Season: Early Harvest EVOO

Heraclea Early Harvest Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is more than a pantry staple; it captures a moment from a family-owned farm in Turkey. The olives, Memecik varieties, are picked in the late fall harvest—November and December 2024—when the trees carry their richest flavors. After harvest, the oil is cold-pressed to lock in aroma and freshness, delivering a bottle that feels bright and alive in the hand. The 16.9oz bottle is designed for home cooks who appreciate authenticity, sustainability, and a close connection to the origins of their ingredients.

Designed for versatility, this EVOO offers a fruity aroma with grassy undertones and a peppery finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate. The experience is clean and vibrant rather than heavy, making it suitable for sauces and finishing touches alike. As polyphenol-rich EVOO, it reflects a depth of character that can complement a wide range of dishes without masking other flavors. Our family farm approach emphasizes ethical, sustainable cultivation, and the product is non-GMO, chemical-free, cruelty-free, gluten-free, and vegan.

Practical tasting and kitchen notes

Open the bottle and notice a bright, fruity scent with hints of fresh-cut grass and a subtle peppery bite. The texture feels silky and light on first drizzle, then invites a longer finish on the tongue. This balance makes it a reliable companion for both raw preparations and warm cooking.
