Frantoio extra virgin olive oil bottle on basalt stone

The Signature

Frantoio

Assertive. Green. Peppery.

Our flagship. Picked early at peak polyphenol content, this oil is assertive and green — grassy, peppery, with a long finish that recalls the dry Heathcote summer.

The Everyday

Classico

Buttery. Gentle. Always on the bench.

Frantoio, Leccino and Koroneiki together. Rounder than the Frantoio, buttery with a gentle peppery close. The everyday oil that earns a permanent place on the bench.

Heathcote basalt country and olive groves

Basalt Country

Heathcote sits on some of the oldest geological rock in Australia — 540-million-year-old Cambrian greenstone. The red-brown soil is deep, well-drained, and mineral-rich. It's why the grapes here punch above their weight, and why our olives carry a character you won't find elsewhere.

Ancient Grove

The Moretti family planted their first grove in 2003. Three generations, two brothers, one rule: only harvest what the land will give you. We don't push yield. We don't irrigate to excess. The trees stress a little each summer, and that stress concentrates the flavour.

From Tree to Bottle

  1. 01

    Harvest — Hand-Picked. Early Season.

    We harvest green-to-purple, before full ripeness. Higher polyphenols. More character. No machine stripping.

  2. 02

    Mill — Crushed Within 24hrs.

    The fruit never sits. From tree to mill in under a day. Temperature controlled. No heat. No compromise.

  3. 03

    Press — Cold Pressed. Unfiltered.

    Two-phase decanting. No second press. Bottled cloudy — the sediment is evidence of nothing added.

  4. 04

    Bottle — Sealed Dark. Dated Honest.

    Every bottle carries a harvest date, not a best-before. Kept cool, it holds its character for 18 months.
