Description

Early-harvest Tuscan olive oil, selected and verified with personal care and backed by our quality guarantee.

  • Noticeably fresher flavour — The olives are harvested while still green, in October, and extracted within 24 hours. Most olive oils are already several months old.

  • Laboratory-verified quality — Polyphenols >450 mg/kg, around 3–4× above average. Acidity <0.3%, almost 3× below the EU limit.

  • Personally selected for flavour, with judgement shaped over years — Aljaž personally selects every batch. Customers trust his judgement because the oil tastes exceptional.

  • Full traceability — A batch number on every tin means you always know where your olive oil comes from.

  • Fair price for everyday use — Exceptional quality for every day, without an unnecessary premium mark-up.

  • 5 L tin for higher consumption — our largest format and best value per litre.

For anyone who cooks regularly, cares about flavour and quality, and wants a simple choice they can trust.

Bittergreen has full traceability – from the grove via laboratory analysis to your table.

Alu Tins + Refillable Bottles

Keep the tin in a cool, dark space. Refill a small kitchen bottle as needed. Always wash and dry refilable bottle before refilling.

Authentic Tuscan varieties: A blend of Frantoio, Moraiolo, and Leccino creates a perfect balance of fruitiness, freshness, and intensity.
Early harvest: The olives are picked while still green, giving the oil an exceptionally intense and vibrant fresh flavour.
Rich in antioxidants: The high polyphenol content creates that distinctive, pleasantly peppery sensation in the throat.
Tuscan hills: The unique climate and rocky soils give the oil its characteristic terroir and exceptional quality.
Fresh green notes: Expect flavours of freshly cut grass, artichoke, and green tomato, with a long, rich finish.

Why aluminium.
The container is made from aluminium with an internal food-grade coating. Aluminium completely blocks light, is lightweight and fully recyclable, while the coating prevents the oil from coming into contact with the metal. This helps the oil stay fresh for more than a year while the container remains unopened. In practice, you will probably use it much sooner — which is even better for freshness.

How to use it.
Pour a small amount into a smaller bottle (0.5–1 L) and keep it close at hand in the kitchen. Leave the larger container closed until you need to refill it — that way, the oil inside stays fresh down to the last drop.

The same quality as in all our other formats.
The composition and laboratory parameters are exactly the same: a blend of Frantoio, Leccino and Moraiolo from the Grosseto region, harvested early in October and November, with polyphenols >450 mg/kg (3–4× above average), acidity <0.3% (around 3× below the EU limit for extra virgin olive oil), and both Toscano PGI and EU Organic certification. Versatile enough for every dish — from a simple salad to recipes where olive oil plays the leading role.

Who it’s for.
For households that cook often and well, and for anyone who uses olive oil every day rather than only occasionally. It is also a practical option for catering or smaller hospitality businesses. If your household uses more than five litres of olive oil every six months, this is the smartest format to buy.

FAQ

Supermarket oils are often months or years old, blended from unknown sources, stored warm under lights. Bittergreen is picked green, pressed within 24 hours, personally selected, lab-tested, stored cold, arrives fresh. You taste the difference immediately.

Olives picked in October when green, not November when ripe. Green olives have 3-4x more polyphenols—better taste, stronger health benefits.

Every bottle is lab-tested for polyphenols (>450 mg/kg) and acidity (<0.3%). You get the actual numbers, not marketing claims. Plus it's recommended by MasterChef winners and used in restaurants.
