Freshly mowed grass, mint and artichoke is the aroma. Tastes like apples, mint and pepper with a creamy base. The finish is persistent black pepper. The anti-oxidant levels are sure to be very high.
Initially, this blend was created only from the Olives grown at Stonyridge Vineyard but now cuttings from these trees have been established at Rangihoua and one other grove on Waiheke to create this most unique blend. The trees are believed to be Verdale, Mission and Ascalano.
The oil has a good creamy finish and is delicious for dipping, aioli and on green beans, asparagus, mesclun salad and white meat. A versatile EVOO which can be used in most culinary applications.
