When we set out to craft Sacro Mulino Olive Oil, we wanted an extra virgin olive oil that captured the true spirit of the harvest—green, vibrant, and alive with flavor. After tasting our newest Novello-style batch, we’re thrilled to share how beautifully it expresses the land, the fruit, and the tradition behind it.
A Flavor Profile That Speaks of Freshness
Sacro Mulino Olive Oil opens with a bright, green aroma—artichoke, fresh-cut herbs, green apple, mint, and green tea. On the palate, it becomes even more expressive. The texture is buttery and creamy, with layers of arugula, radicchio, bitter greens, and warm peppercorn that slowly build into a lingering, elegant finish.
The balance between bitterness and pungency is what defines high-quality olive oil, and Sacro Mulino delivers a medium intensity that’s harmonious, expressive, and incredibly fresh.
Unfiltered, Seasonal, and Full of Character
This batch is unfiltered, giving it a naturally cloudy appearance and a “chewy,” full-bodied texture that olive oil lovers look forward to every harvest season. Unfiltered oils carry flavorful particulates from the olives themselves, making the tasting experience richer and more aromatic.
Because of this natural state, unfiltered oils shine brightest when enjoyed fresh. Sacro Mulino’s free fatty acidity of 0.23 signals excellent quality and stability, but its unfiltered nature means it’s best savored within 4–6 months of harvest (up to 8 months with ideal storage).
Future filtered batches will see an extended 12–18 month shelf life, but this Novello release is all about celebrating the freshness of the moment.
Quality You Can Taste in Every Drop
What makes Sacro Mulino truly stand out is how seamlessly its aroma connects to its flavor. The same notes you smell—green apple, artichoke, herbs—reappear on the palate, a sign of expertly milled, well-balanced oil. The slow-building peppery finish comes from the Tuscan cultivars in the blend, offering structure and natural antioxidant power.
This connection between aroma, flavor, texture, and finish is the hallmark of a thoughtfully crafted extra virgin olive oil.
Perfect Pairings for Everyday Cooking
This vibrant, herbaceous oil shines when paired with simple, high-quality ingredients. Here are our favorite ways to enjoy it:
Drizzled over fresh ricotta or strained yogurt
Paired with fresh tomatoes and flaky salt
Tossed into simple salads and dressings
In scrambled eggs or soft omelets
Poured over fried bread, crostini, or bruschetta
As a finishing touch on roasted vegetables
In select baked goods, like an olive oil cake, when a buttery note is desired
Its savory, green profile makes it especially well-suited to vegetables, dairy, and morning dishes.
