Newly on offer from 2025 to consumers, this oil is cold-pressed from quality Australian olives, featuring Frantoio variety balanced with complementary varieties. The oil was developed in collaboration with local growers following sustainable practices in response to drought and heatwave conditions affecting crops.

Originally supplied exclusively to restaurant and cafรฉ clients, the oil has received praise from chefs for its bold, well-balanced flavour profile.

It bottled on-site in small batches, and shipped direct from the family farm. The oil is not certified organic like other stalwarts in the Grampians Olive Oil range.

Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Grampians & Pyrenees, 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.

Listed originGrampians & Pyrenees, Victoria, Australia
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Frantoio as its only recorded cultivar.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.

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.
