The Oil

Our mildest oil, the Robert Oatley Arbequina has a tropical fruit, red apple aroma and a creamy, sweet palate. This variety was chosen as it complements our range of more medium and robust oils very well.

The Olives

Arbequina olives are small and round, weighing on average 1.2g and are harvested when the first pink blush appears on the skin of the fruit.

The Tree

The trees have a beautiful compact growth habit that suits the high density planting we have chosen for our more recent blocks.

The Region

The variety is Spanish, found particularly in Catalonia as it is extremely cold hardy.
