Bella Olea Organically Grown* Premium Grove Blend
Last one - slightly imperfect label.
Gold award winner 2023 at the Olive Oil Awards.
Note: 250 ml bottle.
A fine organic extra virgin olive oil coupage, handcrafted by Chris Penman in Greytown in the Wairarapa.
Bella Olea's Grove Blend is a considered house combination of Leccino and Frantoio varieties, with a small amount of Koroneiki and Picual too.
Chris's organically-certified (by OrganicFarmNZ) grove benefits from the region's ideal climate: cool winters and long, hot summers creating optimal conditions for growing olives that yield oils with fresh and distinct flavours.
A superior olive oil for finishing every dish, and excellent for dipping, drizzled over salads, pasta dishes, vegetables and seafood. Belia is a fully certified organic grower. However because they press offsite at a non-organic mill, technically their products must be described as "organically grown" under the Organic Production Act 2023.
