Koroneiki Frantoio

Lot Eight's Reserve Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a medium-intensity blend of Koroneiki and Frantoio olives. Harvested in Wairarapa, New Zealand, this oil exhibits grassy/herbal notes with hints of tropical fruit. Cold-pressed within hours of harvest, it boasts high polyphenols (last reported in 2022), contributing to its robust antioxidant profile. Awarded multiple times, including Best in Class at Olives New Zealand 2023 and a Gold Medal at the New York International Olive Oil Competition, this oil reflects the region's terroir and Lot Eight's commitment to quality.

Chemistry reported on this producer's site was reported in 2022, but the values haven't changed since they were first detected.
