Sensory Profile & Character

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 4.2
Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.
Bitterness 2.9
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.
Pungency 3
Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.
Polyphenols 4.7
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.

Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

The oil is bottled without filtration and may retain natural moisture and fine olive solids.

Why choose it

Choose a recent, clearly dated release when you want the most vivid expression of its aromas and flavour.

Worth knowing

Olio nuovo and unfiltered describe different things, but both reward careful storage and prompt use.

Product informationHarvested 15 June 2025Unfiltered
Place & provenance

Sense of place

The oil is listed as coming from a single estate in Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand, 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 originMarlborough, South Island, New ZealandSingle estate
Harvest & milling

How it was made

The olives are listed as being harvested manually.

Why choose it

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

Worth knowing

Product informationHand picked
Olive composition

Blend

Farming & certification

Growing choices

Worth knowing
