Our oil is cold pressed to retain purity and filtered for clarity. It is packaged in dark glass or in our unique catering pack to eliminate light, to maximize its shelf life and to retain top quality.



Extra Virgin Olive Oil must be an entirely natural product. Nothing may be added and the oil must be obtained without the use of heat or chemicals. It must also pass laboratory tests for Free Fatty Acids and Peroxide content. The oil should have a pleasant bitterness and peppery taste.



We are proud of our Misty River Gold Extra Virgin Olive Oil which exceeds the International Olive Oil Standard and meets the stringent Olives New Zealand Certification criteria. Look for the red ONZ Certification sticker - proof of quality!



A top grade Extra Virgin Olive Oil must have a vibrant olive fruitiness in both aroma and taste, a balance and harmony with bitterness and pungency, together with a lingering, pleasant taste.



To assess the true flavour, sample oil with a clean pallet. For instance - eat apple or sip apple juice to refresh the taste buds or smell coffee beans to refresh the senses.



Misty River Gold Special Reserve has an intense style.
