Olive Oils
The 2026 oils listed below vary from smooth to medium to intense for this season. We harvested 3-4 weeks early again this year, as high humidity threatened the crop’s viability. Picual is an intense oil because of the early harvest.
High polyphenols are generally a reflection of the amount of ‘greenness’ in the fruit when it is harvested.
We grow and process most of these olive varieties on our estate in Whitford, Auckland, New Zealand.
Leccino (Italy)
medium intensity
A popular Italian variety
-
This oil starts off smoothly with a hint of green banana flavours. It finishes with a slight peppery aftertaste.
Excellent with most meats and excellent drizzled over salads
Koroneiki (Greece)
mild intensity
A Greek variety that produces very small fruit which is difficult to pick.
-
The oil starts fresh with good green tea flavours which linger on the palate.
-
It finishes with a smooth, pleasant hint of pepper.
Recommended for all cooking and delicate-flavoured meats.
