Numbered micro-lots from catalogued millennial trees, laboratory-certified high-phenolic pressings, first-press futures — consigned by family mills, sold by timed auction, shipped from the estate to the winning bidder. The house never touches the oil.
Producer prices at origin, Jan–Feb 2026 (Jaén €4.07, Bari €6.50 per kg, International Olive Council). Most small estates sell into that chain because no route exists to the buyers above it.
High-phenolic pressings with published lab numbers trade like vintage wine. The EU health claim needs 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol per 20 g of oil — the good ones carry double the threshold.
Numbered bottles from catalogued millennial trees already retail at €368–499 a litre — in runs of a few hundred bottles a year. There has never been a venue where these lots find their price by open bidding. Now there is.
Catalogue number from an official inventory — the Territori del Sénia registry alone holds 6,358 millennial trees under its guarantee mark, and Puglia keeps a regional register of monumental groves. The lot names its tree.
Free acidity, peroxide value, K-indices and a polyphenol assay, published in full. An accredited tasting panel's grade beside them. Numbers first; adjectives after.
Harvest date, extraction temperature, time from tree to press, bottling date. Fresh oil is a vintage product — the dossier treats it like one.
Sales follow the crop: the New Oil Sale after December pressing, the Spring Sale after award season. Each lot shows its estimate, its reserve status and its full dossier.
The house bids for you — one increment at a time, never more than needed, exactly as the great wine rooms do it. Your ceiling stays sealed.
A bid in the final two minutes extends the lot by two more. Sniping buys nothing here; the lot ends when the bidding does.
Hammer price goes to the mill; the mill ships direct in certified packaging, tracked. The house invoices its commission and holds nothing — not your money, not the oil.
