About the Wild Olive
The benefits of olive oil have been heralded for centuries. New to the market, Australian-owned “The Wild Olive” is proudly producing some of the most delicious and nutrient dense Olive Oil in the world, harvested from trees traditionally found in Southern Greece. While olive oil is not new to most people, The Wild Olive promises something completely different from the more familiar (and boutique) brands commonly available.
Its premium olives are grown on trees that can range in age up to 1000’s of years nestled in the wild mountainous region of Laconia in Southern Greece, where premium Olive Oil has been produced for as long as people have existed. It is a landscape completely free of chemical fertilisers and pesticides that supports specific species of olive trees unique to the area. Soil, climate and proximity to the sea are factors that contribute to oils renowned for taste, quality and health benefits.
