Olive Oil

~150 trees planted in 2008 on a 3-million-year-old volcanic lava flow. Three Mediterranean varieties — Picual, Koroneiki, and Arbequina — dry-grown, no irrigation, no sprays. Early harvest, cold-pressed same day. We're optimising for phenolic extraction: picking early, pressing quickly, keeping temperatures low.

Picual olives on the branch — large fruit, Bullengarook grove

Picual

Origin: Spain

The most robust of the three. Naturally high in polyphenols and oleic acid, with a peppery finish and green herbaceous notes — tomato leaf, fresh-cut grass, bitter almond. Handles early harvest well and produces oil with real structure and longevity.

Koroneiki olives — dense clusters on the branch

Koroneiki

Origin: Greece

Small fruit, high oil content. Produces a complex, aromatic oil — green apple, artichoke, a clean peppery kick. High in antioxidants. The variety behind most premium Greek oils. Thrives in the dry, mineral-rich volcanic soil here.

Arbequina olives on the branch

Arbequina

Origin: Catalonia, Spain

The most approachable of the three. Mild, buttery, and slightly sweet, with ripe stone fruit and a soft finish. Lower bitterness than Picual or Koroneiki but still benefits from early harvest — we're picking green to keep the phenolic content up.

His genetics produce fleece that is exceptionally fine, soft, and dense. Shorn annually, sorted by hand, spun by Fibre Naturally — a three-generation family mill in Macclesfield, Victoria. Undyed, lanolin-free, hypoallergenic.

Truffles
