From dressings to salads, vegetables to seafood, cook with it, drizzle it directly onto your food or serve in a dipping bowl with fresh crusty bread.
Our olive orchard
We bought our olive trees in Kerikeri and planted them here in our home of Parua Bay, Whangarei in 2005. Our oil is 100% pure Parua Bay NZ. Nothing added. Nothing blended. When it comes time for harvest, the olives get carried only 50m from the orchard to the shed where we will press them ourselves within a day of picking them. It couldn’t be fresher or purer.
Verified quality
Our oil gets quality tested and continues to prove a high standard of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The maximum peroxide value for extra virgin olive oil is 20 meq / kg (the lower the value, the better). Our peroxide value ranges from 4.0 to 10.2 meq / kg. The maximum free fatty acid allowed in extra virgin olive oil is 0.8% (again, the lower the better). Our free fatty acid value ranges from 0.14% to 0.19%.
