Reap the Benefits From Our Knowledge and Hard Work

Understanding & Nurturing Soil to produce healthy olive trees

Ensuring healthy soil practices resulting in olive trees that flourish and produce premium olives.

Our olive grove has 27,000 olive trees on the paddock always known in the family as ‘The Hill Paddock’.

Specific Harvesting Time.

This is our wonderful harvesting machine called Betty. She does a superb job of carefully shaking our olive trees to collect the olive fruit.

We harvest very early in the season to maximise quality & maintain high polyphenol levels. Polyphenols are the anti-oxidants (good guys) in extra virgin olive oil. The higher the polyphenol levels, the greater the health benefits of the oil & the longer the shelf-life.

Processing for Quality not quantity

We could harvest later in the season to improve yields but that would result in a poorer quality oil.

All Lisadurne Hill olive oil is always cold pressed ie processed below 28C. We could process at a higher temperature to increase yields, but that would result in a poorer quality oil.

Years of knowledge & large helpings of passion.

One of the highlights of the year is tasting the extra virgin olive oil straight out of the decanter.

Nurturing the Lisadurne Hill olive grove is our passion and our goal of producing world class olive products is at the fore of everything we do.

Producing an award winning product.

We are proud that our EVOOs are award winning and provide you with some of the very best extra virgin olive oil produced here in Victoria Australia.


Awards

Each year we enter our EVOO labels into Show competitions, primarily the Australian International Olive Competition, together with other state competitions. This is the best way for us to monitor how our olive oils stack up.
