Cockatoo Grove's Organic Midnight Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a certified organic, single estate product. Harvested during the early season at night, the olives are cold-pressed onsite within hours to retain freshness and flavour. Ideal for drizzling over dishes, dipping crusty bread, or enhancing salads and pasta. Availability is aligned with the annual harvest cycle; expect restocks late May/early June.

OlioWise tasting note
“A clean, mild oil with aromas of fresh cut grass and artichoke. The gentle olive fruit on the palate, low bitterness, and moderate peppery heat, finishing smooth and lightly buttery. Balanced and well made, restrained in character.”

Oil Character

Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

Harvest timing helps you judge an oil's age, while filtration and release style affect how quickly it is best enjoyed.

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.

Recorded producer informationHarvested 1 May 2026
Place & provenance

Sense of place

The oil is listed as coming from a single estate in North West Victoria, 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 originNorth West Victoria, Victoria, AustraliaSingle estate
Harvest & milling

How it was made

The olives are listed as being milled at the producing estate or farm. The olives are listed as being harvested during the cooler night-time period.

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-siteNight harvested
Farming & certification

Growing choices

The oil records certification to an organic production standard.

Why choose it

Choose the practices and certifications that best match your environmental and farming priorities.

Worth knowing

Farming method and certification may guide values-based choices, but do not automatically determine flavour, freshness or nutritional value.
