Australian organic first cold pressed extra virgin olive oil.
What's kept out.
Processed ingredients.
Did you know?
Did you know that olive oil should be kept in a dark bottle? This will protect it from sunlight, which over time can turn the oil rancid. This not only destroys the all-important antioxidants; it can also trigger harmful free radicals that contribute to cell damage.
Geography.
Made on the banks of the Murray River near Cobram
Hot tip.
For full flavour and health, dress salads, vegetables, grilled meat and seafood with a generous drizzle, a squeeze of lemon, salt flakes and freshly ground pepper. Drizzle over your favourite pasta dishes to elevate flavour and use as a stunningly simple dip for crudités and bread along with dukkha or salt.
Nutritional Information.
Cockatoo Grove
Established on historic Cobram Station and surrounded by an ancient forest of red gums, ordered rows of olive trees thrive in deep, red soil. Cool, sunny winters and long, hot summers under the Australian sun allow the olives to ripen perfectly, creating rich, luscious organic extra virgin olive oils. The grove was established by Ken & Joan Dugan in 1996 with 25,000 trees of Italian, Spanish and Israeli origin including Frantoio, Correggiola, Nevadillo Blanco, Leccino, Manzanillo, Koroneiki and Arbequina. These varieties were specifically chosen for their fine oil quality and consistency in producing quality extra virgin olive oil. Olives on our estate are pressed on site within 4 hours of harvesting to ensure freshness, vibrant taste and to maximise antioxidants. The oil is then stored in oxygen free stainless steel tanks at 19C, the cool temperature being the ideal storage temperature.
