Koroneiki and Frantoio olives grow on the coastal slopes of Waiheke Island overlooking Te Matuku Bay Marine Reserve, where they are hand picked with the help of friends and family using an electric hand rake. The fruit is cold pressed within hours and rested in stainless steel tanks before bottling. This season's oil offers green leafy and floral aromas with warm spicy notes, leading to a palate of salad leaves and rocket, a smooth creamy texture and a lingering chilli pepper finish.
