Yuzu Agrumato is a complex oil made by simultaneously pressing fresh yuzu and olives together. Our collaboration with Mount Zero Olives has resulted in an oil that is unique, fragrant and full of flavour. Available in 250 ml bottles and 2 litre casks and now in a twin pack with our new Bergamot Agrumato.
Description
Yuzu Agrumato
In 2021 we started a collaboration with Mount Zero Olives to produce this wonderfully zesty oil. We’re so proud of this product and working with the team at Mount Zero has been a delight.
The term Agrumato is Italian in origin, and originally referred to a process developed in Abruzzo of simultaneously pressing citrus fruit with olives to produce flavoured olive oils.
The process is tedious and more expensive than just producing Extra Virgin Olive Oil. To make our Yuzu Agrumato, olives along with our locally grown ripe fresh yuzu were crushed and pressed simultaneously to produce this very special oil. Being an artisan product there are variations from year to year just like wine. This years oil has a more subtle yuzu profile most likely due to the timing of the press. Olives become milder in flavour as the harvest progresses and whilst we try to source olives towards the end of their season so as to not overpower the fruit, with the yuzu harvest being early this year the agrumato had to be made with mid season olives. The result is an beautiful oil full of flavour with the yuzu being slightly less forward than previous years.
Whilst it is made with Extra Virgin Olive Oil unfortunately the cold pressed agrumato cannot be called “Extra Virgin”.
Yuzu agrumato’s unique fresh flavour is excellent on fish, poultry or in salads or our favourite – as a dip for bread. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do and if you’d like to have a look at the other great products from Mount Zero click here

Is this really the last 1 litre bottle available? Can’t wait to try this new product!
MountainYuzu –
Yes Pamela, we only had 1 x 1 litre bottle. It was just an experiment this year so we didn’t make very much and thought it best to put it into smaller bottles so we could share it further.

I never leave reviews but the yuzu agrumato is so delicious I just had to tell you. Great idea. I hope the olive and yuzu worlds collide again so we can all get our hands on it next year. Thanks
MountainYuzu –
Hello Rosie, thanks for your kind words. It’s lovely to hear you are enjoying it. We made the agrumato as a bit of an experiment and can’t believe how it’s turned out, we thought it would be good but not this good. Glad to know you agree! Will definitely be doing it again next year.

I so love this oil – bought for me by a friend and I’m totally hooked
Shelley –
I love flavoured oils and this one to me is the best I have tried. It gives more punch and depth than a lemon oil. I have been using this to finish zucchini and fennel soup and it really lifts the flavours. It also takes avo on toast to the next level !!

Beautiful and smooth fresh-tasting oil.

I use my yuzu olive oil almost every day. It is absolutely legendary.
Don’t tell everyone though or there won’t be enough left for me.
