Rice Koji

Like a million tiny knives

If anything can turn straw into gold, it would be Koji. I suspect that those who say Koji is not magic don't believe in magic, even when they see it right before their very eyes. For some things in life, explanations are only there to take the fear away from that which cannot be explained.

Koji was crafted 9,000 years ago, most likely under another name, in an earthen jar in China, and it has been a staple of food alchemy ever since. Just not so much here, at least not until recently.

To many, it is the newest food rage. In fact, it is not a food but a tool that harbors amazing little workers who can transform and change how and what we eat in ways that would never seem possible.

There is a lot of science in Koji. Papers have been written about the subject. Some are "dry," long-winded, and some so crusty they seem fermented themselves.

Chateau Virant A.O.P. Olive Oil bottle

Extra Virgin First Press Olive Oils

Olive Oils

In the Northern Hemisphere (e.g., Italy, Spain, Greece, California), olives are harvested between October and December. This means that the olive oil produced during that harvest season is technically from that calendar year.

For example, olives harvested in October–December 2025 produce olive oil from the 2025 harvest.

Freshly pressed olive oil typically becomes available a few months after harvest—often by early 2026.

So if you're buying olive oil in spring or summer 2026, the freshest oils will be labeled as "2025 harvest."

What Does “Fresh” or “New Harvest” Mean?


"Fresh" or "new harvest" means the oil was recently pressed from olives harvested in the most recent fall season.
