Toscana Olives Certified Organic Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil (1.5L, tin)

Flavour: This award winning certified organic extra virgin olive oil is fruity, full of flavour with a smooth finish. No bitter after taste. Another beautiful olive oil from one of Australia's oldest plantations - Toscana Olives, also home of the award winning Grampians Certified Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Compared to the the Grampians Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Toscana is more fruity and perfect for drizzling, cooking and fuller flavour dishes.

Use: This fruity olive oil is best used as an ingredient to enhance the flavour of all your dishes. Or just on its own with a dash of balsamic vinegar and your favourite sourdough bread!

Unfiltered, bottled then enjoyed!
To give you the best quality, Toscana Olives Estate do not filter the olive oil. This is because filtering causes flavour loss. Instead, the oil is allowed to cold gravity settle naturally in stainless steel tanks. From here it is bottled and finds it way straight to your kitchen.

Being single estate produced, the olives are pressed on site within hours of being picked. Newly pressed and decanted olive oil maybe slightly cloudy only as it has not had time to settle. This type of olive oil will be more full of flavour!

The oil is GMO free, 100% pure, unfiltered and high in antioxidants. The 1.5 litre tin has an easy pour spout.

Fresh Harvest: From one of Australia's oldest plantations, the olive oil you've been looking for. Long expiry, this year's fresh harvest. Sealed and stored immediately for maximum freshness.

At Toscana, they grow and produce just one 'type' of olive oil - the best. When it comes to your health, quality cannot be compromised.

Single estate grown and produced:
What's their secret? Their family has a passion for quality. They grow their own olives and press their own olives. They maintain control over the whole process, so you can be sure what's grown in their grove is what gets to your kitchen table.

The unique mix of rare varieties, the right climate and the age of their trees is what creates the (unreplicable) quality and flavour of our oil today. The Toscana Olive Plantation was planted in 1943 in the foothills of the Grampians range, making it one of the oldest in Australia. Their trees are comprised of 27 traditional and now rare varieties including Verdale, Boquettier, Mission and the wild olive.

Precious water is conserved by forcing the trees to fight for survival, relying solely on natural rainfall. This is better for their oil too - this is what achieves the beautifully concentrated, excellent olive oil they are known for.

Certified Organic - your guarantee:
Their NASAA organic certification is your assurance that their olives are grown and processed the way nature intended and are free of toxic chemicals that could damage your health. Unfortunately, the word 'organic' can be too easily used without authenticity, so always look for certified organic produce.
