Frantoio Monovarietal

Premium Label Kakariki is a 500ml extra virgin olive oil produced using a single varietal Frantoio. Olives are harvested early in the season from the Kakariki block, with selection focused on grassy and peppery characteristics to create this premium oil.

It suits uses such as drizzling over summer salads, fresh tomatoes and mozzarella, as a finishing oil, for dipping, and for cooking.
