The 2024 Olive Harvest: An Extraordinary Vintage

6 July 2026

Prolonged summer heat and autumn rains at just the right time: the 2024 season has yielded healthy olives rich in polyphenols. Here is how our harvest went.

Autumn 2024 proved to be perfect for the production of extra virgin olive oil in the Murgia region of Bari. The olives, harvested between October 15 and November 10, showed ideal veraison — approximately 20% — which guarantees the maximum concentration of polyphenols and aromas.

The cold night temperatures in early November further preserved the organoleptic qualities of the fruit, and cold pressing within 24 hours of harvest did the rest. The result is an oil with intense fruitiness, featuring notes of fresh grass and artichoke, and a lively bitterness and pungency that testify to its antioxidant richness.
