Nullamunjie Olive Oil

Nullamunjie Olive Oil Nullamunjie Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Nullamunjie is a true single estate olive oil, grown, pressed and bottled on the estate. Gold Medal Winner 2012!

Australian Extra Virgin olive oil - Nullamunjie olive groves are situated on the lower slopes of Mount Stawell on the banks of the Tambo River at Tongio. Tongio is the district between Swift?s Creek and Omeo in the mountains of eastern Victoria. The climate here is very similar to that of Tuscany with hot summers and cold winters so the varieties of olives chosen were those traditionally grown in

Tuscany - Frantoio, Correggiola and Leccino, with the graceful Pendolino used as a cross-pollinator. The first grove of 600 Correggiola trees was planted in 1998, with further groves of Correggiola, Frantoio and Leccino planted in subsequent years to a total, to date, of just over 3,000 trees. Besides a favourable climate, the soil here is excellent for growing and producing olive oil because, unlike most Australian soils used for agriculture, it contains rocks in abundance. The olive tree over the last millennia has perfected the art of extracting the minerals it needs from rocks - think of olive trees growing on bare stony hillsides in Greece and the Middle East! It is the presence of rock in the soil which is the greatest contributor to the beautiful flavour of Nullamunjie olive oil. As is well-known in vineyards, the soil - le terroir - defines the character of a wine, and so it does for olive oil also. The trees are tended in accordance with organic principles without the use of any pesticides or herbicides, or artificial fertilizers. The season begins with flowering in October/November and by the end of April the fruit is beginning to flush crimson and purple. Harvest commences in May. The taste of fresh, new-season?s oil is a revelation to most people only familiar with the all too frequently flaccid and elderly supermarket offerings. Unlike wine, olive oil loses flavour as it ages and ideally should be consumed within 18 months to two years from when the olives are harvested. The olives are taken fresh from the grove to the press and processed within hours of being plucked from the tree. Nullamunjie Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a robustly fruity oil with excellent complexity of flavours and length of pepper, and a beautiful herbaceous aroma. As with all olive oils classified as extra virgin, acidity levels are less than 0.8%. In the case of Nullamunjie extra virgin olive oil considerably less, never having exceeded 0.2%

To all our lovely customers, I regret to tell you there will be no more or our beautiful Nullamunjie extra virgin olive oil until next harvest, that is to say until May/June 2025.

Sadly, in 2024 a torrential downpour of rain just when the Frantoio was at peak flowering caused the destruction of the flowers and consequently no fruit. Fortunately our Correggiola, which flowers about a week to 10 days later was not affected, but the result is we produced about half of what we would do normally. The joys of agriculture! We are working on producing a bumper crop next year.

So yes, you can still celebrate your birthday or have your Christmas party at the olive grove but sadly we have closed as a regular weekend venue. A big thank you to all our wonderful customers over the years.
