The oil offers green leafy and floral aromas with warm spicy notes, delivering ripe olive fruitiness alongside flavors of salad leaves and rocket, and finishes with a smooth, creamy texture and a black‑peppery pungency. It is made from 100 % hand‑picked Koroneiki and Frantoio olives that are cold‑pressed within hours of harvest on Waiheke Island, without heat or chemicals. This balanced profile pairs well with fresh salads, grilled vegetables, and light seafood dishes. While no specific awards are listed, the oil is certified as extra virgin olive oil.
