Golden Triangle Australian Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500ml

Australian Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Central Victoria’s Golden Triangle

Golden Triangle Extra Virgin Olive Oil is grown, harvested and first cold pressed in Central Victoria, on the river flats of the Loddon River. The grove sits in the historic Golden Triangle, Victoria’s famous gold-rush district. The olives are picked early in the season, which gives the oil a fresh, fruity character that suits everyday cooking as well as finishing a dish.

Why you’ll love it

• Australian grown and produced: from a single Central Victorian grove, Nuggetty Creek Olives. 
• Extra virgin and first cold pressed: extracted mechanically, with no heat and no chemical refining.
• Early harvest: picking starts in April, earlier than most Australian groves, which gives a fresher, more vibrant flavour.
• Mediterranean olive varieties: Frantoio, Leccino, Picual, Manzanilla, Pendolino and Barnea.
• One ingredient: 100% extra virgin olive oil.
• Suitable for vegan and paleo diets.

From grove to bottle

The grove grows in mineral-rich volcanic soils at latitude 37° south, where the climate closely resembles the Mediterranean. The growers choose quality over quantity. Early-picked fruit yields less oil than ripe fruit, but the oil has a brighter, greener flavour.

Tasting notes

The oil is fresh and fruity, with green, grassy notes, a hint of bitterness and a gentle peppery finish. 

How to use it

• Make salad dressings, marinades and dips with it.
• Use it for everyday sautéing, roasting and baking at moderate heat.
• Drizzle it over homemade sauerkraut or fermented vegetables.
• Spoon it over kefir cheese or labneh with fresh herbs.
• Serve it with sourdough and a pinch of Celtic sea salt for dipping.

Storage

Store the bottle in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly closed, and use it within a few months of opening for the best flavour. Extra virgin olive oil can turn cloudy or thicken when it’s cold. This is natural, and the oil clears again at room temperature.
