The juice of an olive.
That’s all a good extra virgin olive oil is.
Of course, there’s a bit more to it than that.
At Cobram Estate, our olives begin with a long summer on the branch in our local grove,
slowly ripening in the Australian sun. Then we pick, crush and juice our fruit, fresh, in under
six hours to capture all the clean fl avours and natural antioxidants. The result is one of the
world’s freshest, healthiest, most awarded extra virgin olive oils. It’s perfect for frying,
baking, the barbecue… or just drizzling on its own.
Bring some Cobram Estate magic to your meals with delicious ideas to try
at cobramestate.com.au
