WEKA Olive Oil

WEKA Olive Oil produces four varieties of extra virgin olive oil from three groves planted in 2007 in Ngatimoti in the Moutere Hills outside Motueka. The blend of Leccino and Frantoio is made from olive varieties of Italian origin that produce a fruity oil offering robust and grassy flavors with a smooth finish.  The single variety Leccino is made from Leccino olives which originated in Italy and produce a robust and exceptionally flavourful oil. The single variety Frantoio is made from Frantoio olives which originated in Italy and produce a mellow oil with a grassy flavor. The single variety Koreiniki is made from Koroneiki olives which originated in Greece and produce a high yield of oil of exceptional quality and flavor. The Lecinno/Frantoio blend, the Leccino and Koroneiki all received Silver Medals from Olives New Zealand in 2016 and the single variety Frantoio received a Gold Medal from Olives New Zealand in 2016.

The oil is sold primarily in New Zealand in 500ml bottles, 250 ml bottles and in bulk. The owners export a portion of the harvest to the US for sale mainly in the New York City area.    The grove is owned by two retired lawyers from New York City.
