We've begun bottling our Limited Reserve extra virgin olive oil and it's now available to order. You can click here to order the freshest EVOO we make.Formerly called Olio Nuovo, Limited Reserve is sold during — and a short time after — the olive harvest.What makes this oil so special?FRESHNESS: Limited Reserve is the freshest oil we produce, because it's bottled straight from the press. There's no filtering or time spent in the settlement tank.TASTE: When you put a spoonful of Limited Reserve in your mouth, you experience a peppery, fruity, pleasantly bitter burst of fresh olive oil taste.AVAILABILITY: The California Olive Ranch team  bottles Limited Reserve just once a year.  It doesn’t even make it to store shelves because it’s made to order.USE BY DATE: You must open and consume this oil much sooner. Its eight-month shelf life is less than half that of our other oils. That’s because we don’t put Limited Reserve into tanks at our two mills for a few months to allow the fruit particles and other sediment to settle. Those fruit particles eventually  ferment.Limited Reserve is great tossed with pasta. You can also use it to prepare a seasonal dish of sautéed pumpkin cubes and cannellini beans. Or use Limited Reserve to poach shrimp or other seafood. The possibilities are endless.Bon appétit,Claude S. WeillerVice President of Sales & MarketingCalifornia Olive Ranch
