Chapman River Fruity is the producer's fruit-driven extra virgin olive oil variant, made mostly from Queen of Spain olives and blended with Frantoio, WA Mission, or Coratina. Grown in the rich red loam of Western Australia's Geraldton region, the olives are hand-picked and processed on site on the same day. The oil is left to settle naturally rather than filtered. Distinct from Chapman River's Robust Blend, it is suited to fresh applications such as salads, vegetables, bread dipping, and finishing lighter savoury dishes.

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 4.4
Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.
Bitterness 3.7
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.
Pungency 3.6
Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.
Polyphenols 6.3
Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds found in olives and other plants. In olive oil, reported phenolic content is a chemistry measure that can be associated with bitterness, pungency and oxidative stability; total phenols are not interchangeable with hydroxytyrosol-plus-derivatives measurement used for the EU-authorised wording.

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.

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