Cobram Estate Classic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a medium-intensity oil produced primarily from the Picual olive variety, sourced from groves along Australia's Murray River. The olives are cold-pressed using a first-press extraction method, yielding an oil with a respectable phenolic content.

The oil has received accolades including a Gold medal at the 2024 Australian International Olive Awards (Class 1) and a Bronze medal at the 2023 Australian International Olive Awards (Class 2). It maintains a history of recognition, with multiple Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards from competitions such as the New York International Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition, Olive Japan Awards, and Royal Adelaide Olive Awards between 2012 and 2022.

Suitable for salads, pasta, vegetables, and fish, this oil is positioned as a versatile culinary staple.

Phenols

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.

Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in North West Victoria, Victoria, Australia.

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.

Olive composition

Changing composition

The latest release lists Picual as its only recorded cultivar. EVV's release data lists different cultivar combinations across harvests.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character. Choose it if you enjoy seasonal variation and seeing how a product changes over time.

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. The changing list does not establish the producer's intention or guarantee a particular flavour difference.
