Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

Harvest timing helps you judge an oil's age, while filtration and release style affect how quickly it is best enjoyed.

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 informationHarvested 15 May 2025
Phenols & structure

High phenolic

The latest release lists 536 mg/kg total phenols.

Why choose it

Higher-phenol oils often suit customers who enjoy assertive bitterness and peppery pungency, and phenols can contribute to oxidative stability.

Worth knowing

A total-phenol result alone does not establish eligibility for a specific regulated health claim.

Published value536 mg/kg
Place & provenance

Sense of place

The oil is listed as coming from a single estate in Limestone Coast, South Australia, Australia, giving it a specific farm origin.

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 originLimestone Coast, South Australia, AustraliaSingle estate
Olive composition

Blend

The latest release lists Frantoio, Picual, Manzanillo, Koroneiki.

Why choose it

A blend can combine complementary cultivar traits and offer a broader flavour profile.
