Koroneiki Special Blend Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Rare Edition (500 ml)

Description

Ultra-Premium, Organic-Certified Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Grown, hand-harvested, and milled in the Santa Maria Valley, California

This is the flagship size of our Rare Edition Koroneiki. Larger in format yet just as uncompromising in quality, the 500 ml bottle represents one of the few chances to own and savor this micro-lot release. With only 24 bottles left worldwide, it is both a culinary treasure and a collectible.

Why it matters

• Singular terroir. The Santa Maria Valley’s cool Pacific winds and marine fog extend ripening, concentrating flavor compounds rarely seen outside this region.

• Early-harvest Koroneiki. Picked at peak polyphenol maturity, which means low yield but unmatched intensity and stability.

• Hand harvested, never shaken. Gentle picking avoids bruising, oxidation, and loss of volatile aromas.

• Milled within hours. Cold-pressed the same day to lock in chemistry and sensory vibrancy.

• Gravity clarified. Months of undisturbed rest, no filtration pads or machinery, just purity refined by time.

• Certified organic. Farming that values soil vitality and fruit integrity above yield.

Why it costs what it costs

Each 500 ml bottle represents thousands of carefully chosen olives—a process that is deliberately inefficient. By selecting only the highest-phenolic lots, much of the harvest never makes it into this blend. Storage space and milling capacity are committed for months for natural clarification, tying up resources that most producers would reserve for higher volume. What remains is an oil of rare purity and focus.

Sensory profile

Fresh-cut grass, green almond, wild arugula, and tomato leaf on the nose. The palate unfolds with structured bitterness, vivid green fruit, and a lingering peppery finish that speaks to high phenolic content. Elegant texture, long persistence.

The experience

At 500 ml, this bottle is ideal for those who want to truly live with the oil—not just taste it in drops. It becomes a ritual: drizzled over crudo, paired with burrata, finishing seared scallops, or even elevating something as simple as warm sourdough. Each pour is a statement of intent: quality above all else.

The urgency

With only 24 bottles left, once this release is gone, it cannot be repeated. Each vintage depends on weather, harvest conditions, and sensory scores. This lot represents the apex of our 2025 harvest and will not return in exactly the same form.
