Picholine

Picholine olives from the family estate at Cape Schanck on the Mornington Peninsula are cold-pressed within hours of picking for this 2025 new-season oil. The grove catches rugged winds from Bass Strait, yielding a vibrant green oil with aromas of fresh herbs, fennel and chervil and robust spicy flavours of aniseed and chilli with a bitter finish.

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 Picholine 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.
