Domenic Torzi's Vat No.1 Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made from the first fruit harvested of the new season in the Barossa Valley, South Australia. It is a blend of Frantoio, Koroneiki, Verdale and Barossa Wild olives harvested from May to July across the valley floor and ranges. The oil is cold-extracted within 24 hours of hand-harvesting and released unfiltered after natural settling in stainless steel vats. Its flavour profile features grassy green fruit, powerful bitterness and pepperiness from the valley floor, alongside ripe tomato and tropical fruit notes from the Barossa Ranges. It has received multiple awards from 2001 to 2010, including Trophy/Gold at the 2010 South Australia Olive Awards and the 2006 Australian Nationals.

Sensory Profile & Character

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 4.5
Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.
Bitterness 3.9
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.
Pungency 4.2
Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.
Polyphenols 6.7
Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds found in olives and other plants. In olive oil, reported phenolic content is a chemistry measure that can be associated with bitterness, pungency and oxidative stability; total phenols are not interchangeable with hydroxytyrosol-plus-derivatives measurement used for the EU-authorised wording.

Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

The harvest date is disclosed on the bottle or product information, making the release easier to date and compare. The oil is bottled without filtration and may retain natural moisture and fine olive solids.

Why choose it

Choose a recent, clearly dated release when you want the most vivid expression of its aromas and flavour.

Worth knowing

Olio nuovo and unfiltered describe different things, but both reward careful storage and prompt use.

Why choose it

Heritage & rarity

Centenarian trees (>100 years)
