Extra Virgin Estate Olive Oil - 500ml
2010
$14.95
The Characteristics
Corregiolo is a close relative of the Frantoio Olive from Tuscany. It is often used as the benchmark for Olive Oil in Italy. It has a small fruit which produces excellent quality olive oil with an optimal balance of acids allowing the oil to be retained longer than others.
Verdale is the quintessential South Australian Olive variety. Brought to the colony by the early pioneers, Verdale has become a natural cultivar of the Southern European variety Verdial. Verdale has larger lower-yielding fruit and is excellent to blend with Corregiolo because of its good texture and hearty, fruit flavours.
We hand pick our olives in late autumn – when the olives are green to just turning deep purple – when they are in perfect balance, ensuring oil less than 1% in acidity and at the time best capturing their fresh, rich and fruity flavours..
The Winemaking
We gently and slowly crush our olives in small batches, which ensures there is no oxidation, to retain the warm flavours and green lustre of the oil.
