Oil Character

Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Northland, North Island, New Zealand.

Why choose it

Olive composition

Changing composition

The latest release lists Ascolano as its only recorded cultivar. OlioWise's release data lists different cultivar combinations across harvests.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character. Choose it if you enjoy seasonal variation and seeing how a product changes over time.

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. The changing list does not establish the producer's intention or guarantee a particular flavour difference.
