Ashbolt First Harvest EVOO 2024 (SOLD OUT)

Sold Out $79.00

There won’t be a 2025 release of our First Harvest Olive Oil this year. Our First Harvest has always been a special part of the farm seasons for us, and we’ll certainly miss it.

Our signature, limited edition, early harvest extra virgin oil is the essence of Ashbolt Farm. First Harvest continues Ashbolt Farm's history of highest quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

For the past decade, this special edition oil has sold out during or shortly after the pre-order period. The loyalty and growth of our Ashbolt First Harvest following expands with each year and fills us with the excitement of each season's harvest.

Why is it so good?

The first oil of the season is known overseas as Olio Nuovo (new oil) and heralds the new season's oils. Bottled only once a year, it is picked ‘early’, before the olives have a chance to fully ripen. Ashbolt First Harvest is our “Olio Nuovo”.

Literally ‘fresh off the press’, Olio Nuovo is potentially the healthiest extra virgin olive oil, delivering higher level of polyphenols and antioxidants. Add to that the proven additional health benefits provided by olives grown in a cool climate and in varietals that are low yielding (it takes nearly 6kg of olives to make one bottle of this magnificent oil) all adds up to something pretty special!

This oil is our pride and joy.
Intense. Bursting with freshness.
And yet, smooth as silk in the mouth.
There’s nothing like it!

The flavour and aroma combine in a heavenly, heady confusion that finishes with a delightful peppery zing.

Perfect for pasta, bruschetta, dipping, salads and soups, our Limited Edition will highlight any dish you prepare.

Available in a 500ml bottle.

Limited Edition Release

We cannot reiterate enough. Because our First Harvest is now receiving almost a 'cult' following, it sells out quickly and so is not sold in store. Our limited edition is only available direct from Ashbolt.

Awards

Our First Harvest oil has a long history of being a Gold Medal Winner, including at Australia's premier awards - The Australian International Olive Awards.

With a legacy of Gold Medals dating back 24 years(!) and many Champion Olive Oil and Best of Show Gold Medals, this is our flagship cool-climate extra-virgin oil, that is our pride and joy.

您的2024橄欖油是我用過最棒的油。2025年特級冷壓初榨橄欖油，凡請告知我

So glad you love what we do. I will let you know if there is any chance we will have a 2025 year First Harvest, but at this stage, unfortunately, it looks like Mother Nature has other ideas.

It is wet wet wet as I write this and if we don't have the super grade we aspire to, we will not produce any.

Thanks again, Anne

Five Star say's it all...there is such a thing as perfection!

Five Star say's it all! Unbeatable flavour texture High quality There is such a thing as perfect! Excellent for both cold & hot meals Ideal for cooking - however we keep to using this one in pouring over & mixing in with already cooked meals. Love & gratitude to the friends and family producers of this ASHBOLT Tasmanian First Harvest.

Aw Victoria,

All our reviews are unprompted, unsolicited - so it is ALWAYS nice to receive such glowing praise. This sort of thing really does make our day - when we know that people all over the country love and respect what we do. It is such a buzz. And we both appreciate it greatly.

Thank you.

Ashbolt First Harvest Extra Virgin

This is a delicious tasting olive oil. I bought it as I’d read high quality olive oil may help relieve arthritis pain. I have never tasted oil like this before and never knew how good it was.

What a lovely review Eve and Darcie - it is so greatly appreciated.

We hope it helps with the arthritis - olive oil is so good for so many ailments and I am sure there is still a lot to learn about this benefits. Good quality cool climate olive oil has higher levels of polyphenols and nutrients and these are easily measured - so that's a start.

The fact it tastes good is such a bonus.

Cheers and thanks
Anne
