"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."
The family picks Koroneiki olives early in the 2026 season from their Adelaide Hills groves in South Australia and cold extracts them within hours. In 2026, independent lab testing recorded 722.6 mg/kg of phenols, one of the highest biophenol results in Australia, with oleocanthal and oleacein contributing toward antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The oil opens with a bold grassy aroma, notes of green tomato, wild herbs and fresh-cut artichoke, followed by a peppery kick and lingering bitterness that suits fresh salads.
