PepperGreen Estate wins gold at the Australian International Olive Awards

PepperGreen Estate's extra virgin olive oil has received gold at the Australian International Olive Awards.

The awards judge extra virgin and flavoured olive oils, as well as table olives from Australia, Argentina, Chile, China, Greece, Italy, Lebanon, Egypt, New Zealand, North America and Spain.

"We are so excited to have been awarded Gold for our Extra Virgin Olive Oil," PepperGreen Estate marketing and brand ambassador Jewel Brown said.

"We're very proud of our olive grove team's efforts in producing such a premium extra virgin olive oil and we invite everyone to come to our tasting room in Berrima to try our new extra virgin olive oil tasting experience or order a bottle online before it's sold out!"

It scored 90 out of 100 points, and the judges praised its "lingering flavoursome length", and that it was "well balanced, complex, and harmonious".

"Intensive fresh aroma of pea shoots, vanilla, and flower blossom as well as praline, nougat, tobacco leaves and oak notes," the comments said.

"Great transfer to the palate with more complex vegetable, pear, and woody herb aromas."

The Arbequina olives are grown and produced in Canyonleigh, with minimal pesticides and herbicides used.

The extra virgin olive oil also received silver in the Sydney Royal Fine Food Show and second in the Olive Japan International Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition in 2022.
