The Wairarapa region has a maritime climate different from traditional olive-growing countries, giving us a distinctive and complex tasting oils.
Olivo is the oldest commercial grove in the Wairarapa region of New Zealand, established in 1991 and has been awarded “Best Brand Award” by Olives New Zealand.
