Rata Olives Leccino

Rata Olives produce this oil from the Leccino cultivar at their site on Te Hou Hou Road in Hunterville. It is certified extra virgin olive oil, smooth and fruity, with a distinctive peppery aftertaste that is less intense than their Frantoio. The flavour varies in strength from year to year while the taste stays the same; the oil has been a consistent medal winner at the New Zealand olive awards over several years, so a dressing over fresh salads suits its rounded style.
