Leccino Monovarietal

Cape Schanck Olive Estate produces their Leccino as an extra virgin olive oil made from the Tuscan Leccino varietal. The oil has a vibrant green tint and a fresh aroma described as reminiscent of banana and Granny Smith apple, with flavors of soft salad leaves and notes of sweet caramel and toffee.

The Leccino is cold-pressed within hours of picking, sourced from the Mornington Peninsula's coastal climate and sandy soils. It is 100% Australian, grown and produced on the family estate.

Oil Character

Place & provenance

Sense of place

The oil is listed as coming from a single estate in Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, 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 originMornington Peninsula, Victoria, AustraliaSingle estate
Harvest & milling

How it was made

The olives are listed as being milled at the producing estate or farm.

Why choose it

These practices may appeal when you value hands-on harvesting, cooler fruit handling or direct estate control over milling.

Worth knowing

They describe production methods, not elapsed harvest-to-mill time or proof that the finished oil is fresher or better.

Product informationProcessed on-site
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Leccino 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.
