Grampians Olive Co., based in Victoria's Grampians region near Laharum on the northern edge of the Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park, is home to the historic 'Toscana' Olive Plantation, one of Australia's first and largest olive groves established in 1943. Now family-run by two generations of the Mathews family, the company is renowned for its premium, certified organic extra virgin olive oil, favoured by leading Australian chefs and restaurants. The 28,000-tree, dryland-farmed grove—planted with a mix of traditional and rare varieties and maintained with minimal intervention—produces low-yield, intensely flavourful oils that are cold-pressed, unfiltered, and hand-bottled on site. On average, each tree produces just one precious litre of organic olive oil per year. The company holds NASAA Certified Organic certification (#3532P) and Australian Certified Extra Virgin status (ID #268), with oil tested at 0.20% free fatty acidity (well below the EVOO limit of 0.80%) and 229 mg/kg total polyphenols. Committed to quality, sustainability, and community, Grampians Olive Co donates a portion of profits to charities and community groups, inviting visitors to experience its legacy and unique production methods at the grove on weekdays.
