5 Why is it so cheap?
You can be guaranteed that cheap does not equal poor quality in this case. Our olive oil is produced with low overheads and a minimum of labour, and when you provide the container it saves on packaging costs too. We are not aiming for the boutique market, but customers who enjoy a great quality product at a fantastic price. Judge for yourself!
6 How can I use it?
Because our olive oil is such a good price and yet, has the flavoursome characteristics of other top brands, you can use it virtually any way you like. This means in cooking – you can substitute it for butter too if you like – drizzling over food to enhance its flavour, on salad, in dressings or with balsamic vinegar and fresh crusty bread. You are only limited by your imagination.

12251 Bussell Highway, Karridale, which is 20 kilometres south of Margaret River in the south west of Western Australia. If you reach the two Karridale service stations, you have travelled south about 1.5 kilometres too far!

10 What types of olives do you use?
We grow Paragon, Mission and University of California (UC). These olive varieties are known for their high oil content and delightful flavours, which make them a great choice for salad and drizzling over food.
We also grow Kalamata table olives.
11 Is your oil organic?
No, our olive grove is not certified organic, but we use organic methods wherever possible. We do not spray the olives or trees, and our sheep and hens are natural weed and insect controllers.
12 How can I pay?
Currently we accept cash or cheque. If you would prefer EFT, please contact Imre on 0427 503 545 for details.
13 Is it extra virgin?
Yes. “Extra virgin” means that only top quality olives are harvested, with no rancid or over-ripe olives in the mix, and these are pressed a single time. Our olives are hand-picked and pressed within 24 hours, resulting in fresh, pure flavours.
14 Is there a freight / transport charge?
Delivery is FREE in the Perth, WA metropolitan area. For longer distance deliveries, an Australia Post fee will be charged.
15 How long does it last?
If olive oil is kept in cool, dark conditions, it will keep well for at least 12 months from the bottling date. If you can make it last that long! Each bottle is marked with a best before date for your easy reference.
16 How long between ordering and delivery?
Depending on availability of yourself and the representative you have spoken to, it can be as little as 24 hours. Mailed deliveries depend on Australia Post timings.
17 What does it taste like?
The oil has a distinctive peppery flavour, and is quite viscous. People usually enjoy the taste so much that they drizzle it on bread and toast so they can savour it properly. We don’t blame them.
18 Does it come in bulk?
Yes. You provide the container and we will provide the oil. It’s great for the environment and your hip pocket at just $14.00 per litre.
