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.

Oil Character

Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Nelson, South Island, New Zealand.

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 originNelson, South Island, New Zealand
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.
