LeccinoFrantoioPendolino

Faversham Olive Oil comes from Leccino, Frantoio and Pendolino trees growing on a windy clay ridge in the Omaka Valley, Marlborough, without irrigation or sprays. The olives are hand-picked in June and pressed locally within 48 hours, then stored in stainless steel tanks before bottling by hand without filtration. The oil expresses its terroir with full flavour and has won silver medals annually since 2017, plus gold at the Olives New Zealand awards in 2022 and 2025.

Oil Character

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 informationUnfiltered
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

They describe production methods, not elapsed harvest-to-mill time or proof that the finished oil is fresher or better.

Product informationHand picked
Olive composition

Blend

The latest release lists Leccino, Frantoio, Pendolino.

Why choose it

Worth knowing

Release dataLeccinoFrantoioPendolino
Farming & certification

Growing choices

The grove is listed as relying on rainfall rather than routine irrigation.

Why choose it

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

Worth knowing
