Village Olive Grove's Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Village Olive Grove produces Extra Virgin Olive Oil using Frantoio olives, a Tuscan variety known for high-quality oil. Located in Tasmania's Tamar Valley, the grove benefits from an ideal climate and soil for olive growing. Harvested early in the season to achieve medium to robust flavours while maximising health benefits, the olives are cold-pressed within hours of picking to preserve freshness.
The 2024 release features fresh aromas of green grass, olive leaf, fig, red apple peel, lime, and herb. It offers mild bitterness, pungency, and a creamy mouthfeel with moderate persistence. The oil has phenolic content ranging from 206-235 mg/kg and free fatty acids at 0.07-0.16%, ensuring high quality.
Awards include gold at the Australian International Olive Awards (AIOA) in 2024 and silver in 2023, reflecting the oil's exceptional character and consistency.
