EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

Mount Bernard 2018 Extra Virgins

What a difference a year can make to growing and harvesting olives. In 2017 we mentioned a wet Spring and mild Summer producing milder than usual oils, this year the hot Summer and lack of rain has meant more robust oils with varying degrees of bitterness and spiciness.

All are available in 500ml bottles or 4 litre tins.

Picual
Green beans and nettle on the nose. Medium bitterness with late pungency.

Leccino

INFUSED OILS

Lemon Lime Agrumato

Agrumato is a traditional Italian method of crushing fresh olives and fruits together. At Mount Bernard we pressed Frantoio olives with our farm grown bush lemons and 3 varieties of limes – Kaffir, Tahitian and Australian red desert limes to produce a fragrant, luscious, lemon/lime oil. This delicious oil will enhance any food that enjoys a piquant, citrusy lift including salads, fish, chicken, pasta and vegetables.

Chilli Infused

A taste treat for those lovers of the hot and spicy, this intense and aromatic chilli infused olive oil has been made with farm grown chillies, predominantly the Habanero variety. The chillies are first dried and then added to infuse in extra virgin olive oil before filtering.  Perfect to add some zing to pastas, pizzas, curries, marinades, stir fries, noodles, and makes fantastic croutons for soup or salads.

Available in 250 ml bottles. Purchasing details are on our Orders page.
