DISCOVER OUR PASSION

Viv & Rob Dean have been tending their 1000 olive trees for over 7 years on their property in Karaka just 50 Kilometers south of downtown Auckland. They grow six varieties on trees ranging in age from 5 to 12 years old. Some of their varieties are grown for oil and others for pickling.

Their oils have beem awarded Gold, Silver & Bronze medals by Olives New Zealand's internationally accredited tasting panel. All our oils are are cold pressed and certified ‘Extra Virgin’.

New Zealand olive oils are becoming internationally recognised having won ‘Best in show’ at the LA County Fair, the largest olive oil competition in the world.
Olive oil has been part of the Italian diet for over 2000 years. If you are looking for a food that will protect you against the risk of heart disease and cancer; replace fats detrimental to your health; improve your cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar levels; overcome digestion, gallbladder and constipation problems; contribute to brain, nervous system and bone development; as well as help treat arthritis and diabetes, then the simple solution could be to incorporate olive oil into your daily diet.

Researchers agree that the Mediterranean diet is one of the healthiest in the world, leading to lower rates of cardiovascular disease and cancer and a decreased incidence of degenerative disease. Olive oil is known to be a major contributory factor to the success of this diet.

We hope you enjoy our carefully crafted Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
