Olive Oil

Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil

At Adelaide Hills Harvest all our olive oil is produced from a single source of olives from a small estate in the Adelaide region.

Our olive oils are 100% cold extracted unrefined and unfiltered and of the highest quality extracted at below 27 degrees Celsius and our Arbosana is extracted at below 25 degrees Celsius with Fatty Acids below 0.25% to 0.30 % and well below the parameters of < 0.8% for classification as EVOO.

The olives are cold pressed just hours after harvest to maintain premium quality and maximum health benefits. Our 100% Australian grown and produced olive oils come from the first pressing of the olives which is what the term ‘extra virgin’ refers to.

First Harvest

First Harvest is unfiltered cold extracted extra virgin olive oil produced from the seasons first harvested olives and predominantly green olives.

Our olive oil is produced from a single source of Koroneiki olives from one property in the Adelaide region. This means we do not blend olives of different regions, varieties or quality for production efficiencies. We only produce a limited quantity annually, in order to deliver the highest quality possible.

Our Koroneiki olives, within hours of being picked, are cold pressed, unfiltered and bottled whilst still cloudy and the flavours amazingly vibrant, as fresh as you can get.

Koroneiki olives are known for their robust flavour. Experience something special with this perfectly unfiltered oil, bursting with unique flavour profile with green banana and herbaceous notes and a complex bitterness that delivers lingering peppery tones for a superb palate experience.

This mild bitterness is a positive indication of the quality and youth of our olives – and of their benefits. It is a balanced, subtle olive oil that is equally ideal for raw consumption, on salads and seafood, as it is for cooking and baking.

Because of its extraordinarily high cancer-fighting antioxidant value and its high concentration of oleic acid, the 1^st Harvest is often taken by the tablespoon as a nutritional supplement.

Arbosana Below 25 °

Our Arbosana is unfiltered cold extracted extra virgin olive oil and is guaranteed pressed under 25 degrees thereby retaining all the beneficial nutritional value of the oil.

Pressing under such low temperatures drastically reduces our overall yield however produces an extremely high-quality extra virgin olive oil that retains a very high quantity of its Phenolic acids and antioxidants.

The Arbosana has a slightly more delicate profile than the 1^st Harvest Koroneiki and is a balance between bitter, spicy, and sweet. It has a flavour profile of intensely grassy and fruity aromas, hints of apple with a nutty flavour, light and buttery consistency with a pungent and bitter, slightly peppery yet smooth finish.

This combination of being pressed under 25 degrees thus maintaining high levels of phenolic oleic acids and antioxidants with its milder flavour profile make our Arbosana cold pressed olive oil an ideal nutritional supplement to one’s diet.

Lemon Press

Our Adelaide Hills Harvest Lemon Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced in the Agrumato style of cold pressing whole local SA lemons together with our organic Arbequina Olives. This combines the fruity olive character with the zest of lemon for delectable results!

Adelaide Hill Harvest Lemon Press Olive Oil has a bold flavour superior to that of an infused oil or one made by adding lemon oil separately at a later time. Infusion generally requires heat being added to allow the infusion of the flavour into the oil therefore destroying a lot of the health benefits of the olive oil through introduction of heat.

Our Agrumato process of cold pressing the lemons together with the olives not only produces a EVOO with a strong bold flavour but one that retains all the natural health benefits of high levels of phenolic oleic acids and antioxidants.

Savour the fresh lemon zest on the palate with the lemon shining through the creamy buttery texture of the Arbequina olive oil. It is an absolute treat on fish, grilled meats, vegetables, salads and eggs.

Rosemary Press

Our Adelaide Hills Harvest Rosemary Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced in the Agrumato style of cold extracting rosemary grown on the property together with our Arbequina Olives.

The olives and rosemary are crushed simultaneously in the same press without the use of any added essences allowing the essential oils within the rosemary plant to harmonize with the oil from the olives resulting in a wonderful combination of the health benefits of the raw cold pressed olive oil with distinct rosemary flavours.

Enjoy the rosemary flavours on the palate permeating through the buttery texture of the Arbequina olive oil, which is magical on your lamb roast, crispy baked potatoes or drizzle it on your chargrilled beef, pork & chicken or roast vegetables. Perfect seasoning for soups, casseroles, stews and it is absolutely superb on warmed Kalamata olives or dipping your crusty bread with your favourite Dukkha.
