Organic EVOO - Mount Zero

Pressed from Australian-grown organic Frantoio olives. A robust oil with a savory, herbaceous aroma, notes of walnut and tomato leaf and a lasting pepperiness. This oil is a great all-rounder for liberal lashings on salads, meats and vegetables. About the producer: Did you know southern Australia is one of the best places in the world to grow olives, with a climate very similar to the Mediterranean? Mount Zero is a family-owned producer of award-winning olives and olive oils in the Wimmera / Grampians region outside of Melbourne. They’ve been focused on sustainable and biodynamic growing techniques since long before those became buzzwords, both on their own plantation and selected neighboring family farms from whom they also source a range of organic, biodynamic olives, grains, and other produce. Mount Zero were inducted as “Melbourne Food & Wine Legends” in 2010 and their olives and EVOOS feature at Melbourne’s famous Food and Wine Festival every year as well as many of the top restaurant kitchens in the city. We love their range of EVOOs - both the blends as well as the single varietal oils. Get ready to further develop your taste for EVOO and find a new favorite! And we especially love their agrumato-style EVOOs, where their Frantoio olives are simultaneously pressed with various fruits which deeply merge the flavors into a wonderful oil for lots of different creative and delicious uses!
