Olives on the Hill

Olives on the Hill is a family-run, New Zealand-owned olive oil producer established by Chris and Linda Smith at Kingsview Estate in Mangawhai, North Island. The grove, located near the Brynderwyn Mountains, benefits from a rural setting that supports the cultivation of olive trees. The business produces a range of extra virgin olive oils, including a vinaigrette variant, alongside gift and bulk packaging options. Chris and Linda approached the project as a long-term challenge, managing grove operations hands-on to develop their oil production. Customers have highlighted the oil’s character in feedback, noting its appeal. The company offers opportunities to explore its operations via online content or visits to the Mangawhai site.
