"A vibrant, distinctly green oil with aromas of fresh-cut grass, green apple, delicate white flowers and artichoke. Green banana carries onto the palate, accompanied by a subtle sweet, bubblegum-like aromatic note. Medium-bodied with a clean, substantial texture. Bitterness begins moderately but builds through the palate to become pronounced, pleasant and assertive, lingering after the other flavours fade. Pungency likewise starts gently at the back of the throat before developing into persistent, medium-high pepperiness with repeated sips. The finish is clean and medium-to-long, driven by lingering bitterness and pepper. No defects detected."

Made from single-origin Koroneiki olives from the Adelaide region in South Australia, early-harvested, predominantly green and cold-extracted to retain freshness. The oil is unfiltered, preserving natural phenolic compounds like oleocanthal and oleacein.

Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

The harvest date is disclosed on the bottle or product information, making the release easier to date and compare.

Why choose it

Choose a recent, clearly dated release when you want the most vivid expression of its aromas and flavour.

Worth knowing

A harvest date does not reveal how the oil was stored, so date is an important signal rather than a guarantee of condition.

Product informationHarvest date disclosed
Phenols & structure

High phenolic

The latest release lists 722.6 mg/kg total phenols.

Why choose it

Higher-phenol oils often suit customers who enjoy assertive bitterness and peppery pungency, and phenols can contribute to oxidative stability.

Worth knowing

A total-phenol result alone does not establish eligibility for a specific regulated health claim.

Place & provenance

Sense of place

The oil is listed as coming from a single estate in Adelaide Hills, South Australia, Australia, giving it a specific farm origin.

Why choose it

Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.

Worth knowing

Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.

Listed originAdelaide Hills, South Australia, AustraliaSingle estate
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Koroneiki as its only recorded cultivar.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.

Worth knowing

One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.
