Grampians Olive Co. Delicate Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Late Harvest)
Grampians Olive Co. • Australia • Victoria • Grampians & Pyrenees
This award-winning late harvest olive oil is cold-pressed from purple/ripe olives, featuring rare Benito and Verdale varieties grown on heritage trees. The oil is certified organic (NASAA #3532P) and Australian Certified Extra Virgin (ID #268), with a free fatty acidity of 0.19% (well below the 0.80% EVOO limit) and total polyphenol content of 153 mg/kg.
The 2024 harvest was significantly impacted by unseasonal weather patterns, resulting in limited production. The heritage trees are rain-fed only, and olives are cold pressed immediately after picking, yielding a concentrated, premium product that is unfiltered and unrefined.
