Coratina Monovarietal

Grassy Spur Olives produces a single-variety Coratina extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) from the 2024 harvest, a high-yield crop recognised with a Silver Medal at the Australian International Olive Awards (2024). Olives are sourced from Grove 2 in Stony Creek, South Gippsland, planted in 2005 under windy conditions conducive to robust growth. Harvested olives are processed onsite within 2-3 hours of picking, ensuring freshness.

Awards history includes a 2023 Gold Medal and Reserve Class Champion at the Australian International Olive Awards, alongside prior accolades from 2013-2023 in both Robust and Medium classes across national and international competitions.

Produced without synthetic chemicals, with bee-assisted pollination supporting biodiversity. Store in cool, dark conditions to preserve flavour integrity.

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 3.8
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.
Pungency 4
Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.
Polyphenols 9.1
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 harvest date is disclosed on the bottle or product information, making the release easier to date and compare.

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.

Product informationHarvest date disclosed
Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Gippsland, 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 originGippsland, Victoria, Australia
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 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 informationProcessed on-siteHand picked
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Coratina 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.
