Olives New Zealand provides olive growers with support and information to help them produce premium quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) and olive products. Read more…
We bought our small property in 2006, with about 450 young, and mostly horizontal, olive trees. The first few years were driven by ignorance and enthusiasm, until we finally had some trees grown and cropping. Then the aim became to do better. Along the way we bought an Enorossi 250 olive press and constructed a licensable facility from which to run it. At last we think we are hitting our straps! The trees look better than they have ever looked and the press is operating most successfully; both with thanks substantially to some excellent and instructive workshops run by Olives NZ.
After three years of being awarded a silver medal for our oil, in 2019 we reached the gold standard! Our oil is mild with a good balance of fruit and some pepper in the finish. In 2019 we also introduced a couple of flavoured oils to broaden our repertoire; garlic and basil, and lemon and fennel. Both have been well received at our regular market.
We also keep a few olives aside for the production of our Table Olives. And to keep ourselves busy we produce jams and chutneys from the bounty of our property.
