Isobel Olives
Isobel Olives is situated in Isobel Place about a kilometre from Rarangi Beach in Cloudy Bay, Marlborough. The soils are free draining pea gravel with fine fertile river silt and favour growing olives. As a member of Olives NZ Isobel Olives has access to expertise and support and uses the certification of his oils to ensure they meet rigorous testing and provide consumer confidence. Olives are cold pressed at the Marlborough Olive Press within 24 hours of harvest in late June.
Owner, Chris Piper, harvests several neighbouring groves of 4 main varieties – Koroneiki (Greek), picual (Spanish), Frantoio (Italian) and Barnea (Israeli). Careful pruning, fertilizing and irrigation help to provide optimum growing conditions. No sprays are used and mulching is used for weed control.
