Picking & Pressing

We have a hands on approach throughout every step of the process, in fact, by the time a bottle leaves our grove, there have only been 2 or 3 people involved in the entire process. This way, we know every bottle is as good as the last.
FAQ
How long does the product last?
We recommend consuming our EVOO within 2 years of harvesting. The sooner the better.
Where do I store my EVOO?
EVOO keeps best when stored
outside of direct sunlight.
Can I cook with EVOO?
Of course! Our EVOO has a
high smoke point, often exceeding 200 degrees Celsius, meaning it’s uses are extensive and a great healthy alternative to frying with unhealthy alternative oils.
What is the difference between olive oil and extra virgin olive oil?
Unlike olive oil, EVOO has
considerable processing laws in Australia. In order to legally sell a bottle labelled EVOO, there must be no chemicals used during processing and there are strict guidelines as to the temperature the oil can be extracted at. Due to these laws, olive oil producers will often take the pommus (by-product of EVOO) and heavily process it to strip as much remaining oil as possible - unfortunately, by this stage all the goodness has gone.
What are the main differences between EVOO and vegetable oil?
Vegetable oil is a bit of a myth.. In fact there are no vegetables used in the process of making vegetable oil, rather canola, soybeans, cotton seeds, sunflower seeds.. The list goes on. Unlike EVOO, vegetable oil is highly processed and uses both heat and chemical extraction, meaning the end product lacks all the goodness you are served in a bottle of EVOO.
