OUR OLIVES
 

Grown on our mature trees free from any chemicals and sprays.  We have three types of olive and these are processed as single varietals

THE GROVE

The grove was terraced and planted in 2003 and was previously operated under the award winning Quail Ridge brand. There are six hundred and fifty trees on the property. The grove was purchased in 2014.  

OUR OILS
 

We processe our oil in house using our Olio Mio press.  We do not blend our oil so the individual characteristics of each type is maintained. We also filter our oil so that it is crystal clear and ready to use without the need to decant and ensure we remove any sediment that can alter the flavour and hasten the deterioration of the oil.

CONTRACT PROCESSING

After re-equipping our process room with an Olio Mio 100 machine we have the capability to offer contract packing services to other local growers at competitive prices.

EQUIPMENT

Under the Quail Ridge brand oil was prossessed using a traditional mat and press method. This was a very labour intensive, low volume process.  The decision was made to look at a higher capacity production method to enable processing of our own olives more efficiently and also enable us to offer contract packing services.  An Italian TEM Olio Mio 100 was purchased.  This enables a continuous production process of up to 80Kg per hour.  The system is a cold press operation that seperates the oil from the water and pulp of the olives,(whereas the traditional press squeezed the liquids from the pulp but then required further processing to remove the oil from the water and sediment).
