Barnea Monovarietal

Previously labelled Terra Sancta, the Barnea is made from 100% New Zealand olives, primarily grown in the Hawke's Bay and Wairarapa regions. This oil is made in small batches and released annually, with limited quantities available for each year's production.

The olives are harvested from New Zealand groves to create a product suitable for enhancing sauces, pasta, seafood, and salads.
