Old French Road Picholine Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 2025 harvest

Cultivar: Picholine

500ml bottle.

A boutique Picholine Extra Virgin Olive Oil from star producer Old French Road.
Their Picholine usually has a high polyphenol content for those looking to maximise the  health benefits from their oil. 

Picholine is a French varietal,  typically high in health-giving oleic acid. Great as a finishing oil (drizzling over salads, grilled vegetables, fish) where its aroma and pungency can shine. Also falvours up dressings, vinaigrettes, dips (bread + oil) where the pepper and bitterness bring balance.

Certified by Olives NZ.
