About Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Our grove is tucked into the hills close to the coast of Whanganui. This provides a temperate climate for our trees, with well draining soils. It is warm and mild with good sunshine and a sea breeze. This contributes to the unique flavour profile of our oil.
Keeping it local, our oil is pressed in the region about a 40 minute drive away. We are in control of processing from the tree to the bottle.
We pride ourselves on the quality of our award winning extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). We have the OliveMark® which is the Olives New Zealand’s certification.
The quality and taste of our oil has been recognised with 10 medals at the New Zealand EVOO Olive Oil Awards since 2021. In 2026 we won 4 silver medals.
The OliveMark® programme guarantees genuine NZ EVOO — tested for freshness and quality based on International Olive Council (IOC) standards.
When you purchase local Olives NZ certified oil, you are purchasing high quality oil.
