The Oil

We are fortunate in New Zealand to have a cooler climate which is instrumental in producing olive oils with a depth of flavour not found in the oils of warmer countries.

Kilrae Olives Extra virgin olive oil's naturally intense taste is especially complimentary when drizzled over seafood just off the grill, and to enhance salads, pasta or potatoes.

Tuscan 2008

Summer 2008 was dry and warm and our olives benefited from 4 months irrigation. The olives were in excellent condition at pressing, and the resulting oil from our Frantoio/Leccino mix is luxuriously grassy with the usual strong peppery finish.

Feedback

 "I am a great devotee of olive oil. I use it every day, and I always buy the expensive 'virgin'. But never have I tasted oil equal to yours. It is really delicious. Congratulations, and long may your oilery flourish.'
