Description

Early-harvest Tuscan olive oil, personally selected, verified, and backed by us because we genuinely care about quality.

  • 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 bottle 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.

  • 250 ml for travel — A small bottle for trips, tasting, or gifting.

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.

Store the bottle in a cool, dark place and protect it from light, heat and air. After opening, close it tightly and use within a few months. Extra virgin olive oil 250 ml is ideal for tasting, gifting, salads, bread, vegetables, pasta and finishing dishes.

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.

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.
