Where are your olives grown and produced?

Our Sicilian olives are grown and cured in Italy, pitted Kalamatas in Greece and local organic Kalamata and organic Australian mixed olives in NSW. They are all cured immediately after harvest for ideal freshness and flavour. We marinate them using traditional, French artisan recipes and methods in our Byron Bay kitchen.

Are your olives and olive oil organic?

Our organic Australian mixed olives and extra virgin olive oil are certified organic. Our chili Kalamata olives are grown locally and spray-free.

Where is your olive oil produced?

The olives used to make our extra virgin olive oils are certified organic and grown in southern NSW on a family run farm. They are cold-pressed within 90 minutes of harvest for freshness and optimal flavour.

Is olive oil safe to use on skin?

Olive oil has been used as a beauty and wellness ingredient for centuries, due to its hydrating and anti-aging properties that do not disrupt, but rather support a healthy microbiome. It can be used as a makeup remover, moisturizer for skin and chapped lips, hair mask, shaving cream and many other possibilities.

How should I store my organic extra virgin olive oil and how long will it last?

Our organic extra virgin olive oils are best used within 4-6 months after opening the bottle. To ensure freshness, store your olive oil away from direct sunlight and heat. Never refrigerate, as this will oxidize the oil.
