Olive Oil & Olives
Blacklea olives are harvested in April/May and processed within 12 hours to maximise freshness. While there are an endless variety of olives, there are only three categories into which they all fall – delicate, medium and robust.
This year we have four (4) varieties of EVOO. Currently available in 250ml and now 500ml bottles are:
- PICHOLINE ( a French variety) – a robust oil
- FRANTOIA (an Italian variety) – a delicate oil
- LECCINO (an Italian variety) – a medium oil
and this year, due to weather conditions, we pressed our Kalamatta olives into a wonderful robust oil. Only a limited supply will be available and only in 250ml bottles.
