Stefani Estate's Early Harvest Yarra Valley Frantoio Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Stefani Estate produces this Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the Frantoio variety, harvested early when olives are 60% green and 40% black. This method results in lower yield but a higher reported polyphenol content, which the producer associates with shelf life.

The oil is cold pressed using fruit often harvested mid-May in Healesville, Yarra Valley, Victoria. Post-pressing, the oil is transferred to vacuum-sealed stainless steel tanks to minimize oxidation, with sediment removed via decanting for minimal intervention.
