Tasting Notes (2019)
Waiheke Blend – our signature blend combines Ascolano, Mission and Verdale olive varieties. This medium-intensity oil has a delightfully light and creamy start with a hint of almonds, building to a lingering peppery finish.
Smooth and buttery, our Picual is always a favourite for its fruity notes. A hint of green apple and a whiff of citrus lead to a climax of peppery watercress.
Our Italian Frantoio Blend, combining Frantoio and Leccino olive varieties, will be sent to the Flos Oleis Italian competition once again this year and we will await the results with anticipation. Creamy, nutty and spicy, this year’s complex blend offers mid-tones of nasturtium, mesclun, green capsicum and rocket/arugula, with a prolonged chilli finish.
