River Estate Leccino Extra Virgin Olive Oil is crafted from the Leccino variety sourced in Italy. Its existing description says the oil is cold-pressed within hours of harvest, with notes of banana and a buttery smoothness. It is positioned for sautéing and delicate dishes.

River Estate is located in Whitford, Auckland, on a farm that has been in the Wade family since 1852. They began their first olive planting in 1997 and have been producing oil since 1999.
