If youve got a few olives youd like pressed for oil, or if... youd just like to see how extra virgin olive oil is made, then join us at the end of June for our very first Community Pressing Day. The lovely people of @eatwelltasmania and @ourcoalvalley are helping us make this an awesome day out, and @backpaddockvineyard will be here for your liquid refreshment needs! Youll be able to taste new season oils, tour the pressing room, stroll in the grove, and get a bite of something to eat too.

05.01.2022 Congratulations Flinders Island organic olive oil. It’s exciting to see a Tasmanian oil as the best in show, boutique volume, at the Australian International ol...ive awards. Congratulations to all the successful entrants. At workshops I’ve attended over the last few years I’ve learnt a lot about Jude’s trials and successes growing olives on Flinders island and how they eventually set up there own press, this award is amazing but very well deserved. This oil is on the shelves at @hillstreetgrocer west Hobart and @salamanca_fresh , and @savourfoodstas sell it too. See more
